Books, know how to control people. Control people.😍âœĻ

Books, know how to control people. Control people.

Written by Patricia Evans.

This book doesn't teach you to control anyone.

But teach you to "know" the person who is controlling you.

And the very strong truth is...

People control people. They don't yell in their faces.

He controls through quiet words, misrepresentations, and makes you doubt yourself.

The book explains that "control" often comes in the form of Verbal & Emotional Abuse.

Which is more dangerous than shouting or using force because it causes the victim to gradually lose confidence.

What the book describes very clearly:

Control people often make you feel "guilty all the time."

He will distort your words (Gaslight)

He will devalue and make you feel like you're "overthinking."

He doesn't want equal relations but wants power.

And the heartbreaking sentence is

The man who controls you doesn't want to understand you. He wants you to obey.
