Emotional Manipulation Techniques:
# 1: It's Either Me or Him/Her - people like their friends to choose between them and another person. you are more pressured to choose the manipulator, for fear of losing their friendship.
"thou shall not worship other gods before me" OR else...
A true friend would never do such thing. This is an emotional manipulation technique that even little kids use in the playground.
# 2 I'll Do You This Favor, But Don't Forget You Owe Me.-
"I will bless you"...but...or Else...
