I am Jamie... and I'm a guilt-tripper.
I honestly never labelled myself as that, but it seems that people agree that I am! its funny/ scary how one can be so blind to one's weaknesses!
I googled "how to stop guilt-tripping others" and realised that it is a manifestation of manipulative behavior. and I was also shocked that this behavior has manifested since i was really really young! like how i would purposely hurt myself when i was angry with them so that i would make them "suffer" when they see that i am hurt. it was my way of expressing anger, because somehow i felt afraid to express it.
one of the solutions to this is to learn how to properly communicate my repressed feelings, but to communicate it in a way that isn't wounding. i have to remind myself not to play "the victim" just so that I can make people do what i want.
I'm sorry if I have ever guilt-tripped you.. I'm working on it, but i think the most difficult part is spotting it in action. So please bear with me, friends.
