Unmask Manipulators Instantly: 8 Comebacks They’ll Never See Coming
A powerful comeback is to ask for clarification. “Is that what you truly meant?”
This simple question can work wonders in revealing a manipulator’s true intentions.
Manipulative people tend to bank on your assumptions to steer you towards their desired outcome, often while maintaining a facade of plausible deniability.
By asking for clarification, you force them to be explicit about their intentions. It’s a subtle way of calling them out without causing a direct confrontation.
This comeback not only puts the manipulator on the spot but also gives you a chance to regain control of the conversation.
