4. Creating Fake Crises

They will ask you to do something most people wouldn’t do, often by creating a fake crisis. For example, they might claim they need $10,000 immediately because their child is in the ICU. Of course, you would want to help. After you give them money, they will create similar emergencies repeatedly to establish a pattern and see how much you can give, assessing your tendency to sacrifice yourself. They want to know if you can abandon yourself for them. While giving and empathy are positive traits, if your trauma has made you overly giving, they will exploit this. By creating these emergencies, they gauge how much they can extract from you.

5. The Sob Story Tactic

They want someone empathetic to say, “It’s okay, I’ll fix it for you.” They will talk about their crazy exes, deceased parents, abandoned friends—anything to create a sense of obligation in you to treat them well.
