>people can be passively manipulative without meaning to
Manipulation is nurtured behavior. There is no "not meaning to" or "accidentally" doing that.
She consistently engages in guilt tripping, threatening to self harm, playing victim, controlling who is in her circle, and fishes for compliments, that’s not "passive" manipulation it’s active emotional coercion.
If she says, "I’ll hurt myself, everyone hates me" that’s not accidental, it’s a power move to trap people in responsibility they didn’t consent to.
Statements like "Everyone hates me" or exaggerated self-deprecation "I’m so fat" are attention-seeking strategies, not helplessness. She consistently says this to derail criticism or avoid accountability, it’s calculated, not passive.
Calling this behavior "passive" downplays the harm. These are conscious tactics to exploit empathy, evade accountability, and dominate social dynamics. Whether she admits it or not, the impact is the same.
You act like she is 8 and knows no better. I hope you are some young empath, because you sound very naive. If you aren't then I will assume you know better, and you are intentionally downplaying this/complicit.
