tangle of rainbows

I don’t know where the line is between being manipulative and just being expressive like… if I express my sadness am I guilting people? since I cry easily when I feel hurt, even if my hurt isn’t always valid, am I being emotionally abusive? I never know if I’m being alright when I try to change someone’s mind or like convince them to do something??? is it okay to try and convince someone to be more serious about you or like more committed to you or whatever? if you’re trying to explain how you feel to someone, but you’re sobbing and feeling miserable, is that guilting them? am I a bad person am I emotionally abusive or am I just Emotional idk!!! idk when I’m crossing the line and I feel like I’m gonna die

There’s a misconception that people who emotionally abuse and manipulate people in relationships always know they are doing it. It’s not true, people don’t always know. I think this is important, because if you believe that, then you’re not going to look at your own relationship and ask yourself, “am I manipulating this person? Am I emotionally abusing them?” And if you ask yourself that and the answer is yes, you’d probably want to change your behavior, right? And that’s one way that we, as a society, can stop emotional abuse. 

People accuse tumblr users of excessive black-and-white thinking and not fact-checking and like

no it’s just people on tumblr being people
