Manipulation is when someone completely overlooks their own disrespectful actions but twists the situation to make you the problem. They hurt you, cross your boundaries, and then act like your reaction is the real issue. They'll say you're "too sensitive" or "overreacting," all while pretending they've done nothing wrong. That's not accountability — that's control. It's how manipulators shift guilt onto you so they can stay comfortable in their own toxicity.
