[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The accusation that you're polite but don't actually care is a manipulation tactic. They can't accuse you of being mean - because you're not and no one would believe them - so instead claim that you're faking the niceness. They're equating your refusal to bail them out as a lack of caring. That's just manipulation 101. They want it to hurt your sense of self, because you are a genuinely caring person and the accusation that you failed to care about them hurts you. They're relying on that to get you to comply with their demands. [/quote] Not OP, but I wish I had read this when someone said the same thing about me! It sent me into a spiral of depression. I have since gained perspective and I agree it is completely manipulative.[/quote]
