Do you like to make your close people feel guilty?have you ever tried to put pressure on someone so they do what you wish them to do?one of my friends refuse to eat when he has to show his anger and put the blame on his family,thus making them bow down to his wishes /whims.It makes me wonder why people do like this?This is another type of bullying!!what do you think about it?

hi sera
good to have posting again
emotional blackmail is really annoying.it makes me want to slap them-mostly my husband does this if he is mad at me.i hate it so much it breaks my heart.
mostly i dont know why he is doing it.then i shout because i get so frustrated.
but despite this we love each other v much.it only happens maybe once every 2 months but i hate it it is called passive aggressive
you seem to have v passionate friends!

Hi Glam:)it's sweet to see you remember me even after this gap.yeah my this friend is quite touchy and egocentric sometime.It is really hurtful because one feel somewhat helpless.we can't see our loved ones suffer even when they are wrong in their attitude.I am wondering how to show him that it makes me resent him inside when he acts like this.

I agree, it's another for of bullying.
It took me a while to figure that out with some friends, who are now former friends. I started just leaving when people would use that tactic. If they are that angry, then they obviously don't want me around! LOL
