Guilt trip

This can be a form of toxic behavior that can have detrimental effects on a person's well-being as well as their relationships.

Creating a guilt trip in another person may be considered to be manipulation in the form of punishment for a perceived transgression.

[2] George K. Simon interprets the guilt trip as a special kind of intimidation tactic.

A manipulator suggests to the conscientious victim that they do not care enough, are too selfish or has it easy.

This usually results in the victim feeling bad, keeping them in a self-doubting, anxious and submissive position.
