Manipulators often use guilt to control their victims from "summary" of Dark Psychology Emotional Manipulation by David Bennis

Manipulators are experts at exploiting the emotions of their victims in order to control them. One common tactic they use is to instill feelings of guilt in their targets. By making the victim feel guilty, the manipulator can make them more compliant and submissive. Guilt is a powerful emotion that can be used to manipulate people into doing things they wouldn't normally do. Manipulators often play on their victim's sense of right and wrong, making them feel responsible for things that are not their fault. This can lead the victim to feel obligated to the manipulator, even when they are being treated poorly. Manipulators may use guilt to make their victims feel like they are not doing enough to please them. They may exaggerate their own suffering or hardships in order to elicit sympathy and guilt from their targets. This can make the victim feel like they need to do more to help the manipulator, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being. Another way manipulators use guilt is by making their victims feel responsible for the manipulator's actions. They may shift the blame onto the victim, making them feel guilty for things that are out of their control. This can create a sense of powerlessness and dependency in the victim, making them easier to control.
  1. Guilt is a powerful tool that manipulators use to control their victims. By exploiting their emotions and sense of responsibility, manipulators can make their targets more compliant and submissive. It is important to recognize when guilt is being used as a manipulation tactic and to set boundaries to protect oneself from being controlled in this way.
