@thesunnahguy: There will be people in your life who love to manipulate you and all they want is to see you react. This is where you take all the power away from them and stop reacting. You will see that they will lose all control over you and it bothers them that you aren’t reacting. This advice is especially useful to someone who is constantly taken advantage of and/or gets emotional every time people say things to him. Your job is not to be reactionary. But to emotionally check out of the relationship from anyone trying to manipulate you.
