Guilt-tripping: Definition, Signs,
Examples, and How to Respond
By - Talk Your Heart Out
What is Guilt-
tripping?
Guilt-tripping occurs when a person
makes another feel guilty, to manipulate
them into doing something. It is a form
of passive aggressive behaviour that
results from the person’s lack of ability
or unwillingness to communicate openly,
honestly, and assertively.
Signs of Guilt-
tripping
Guilt-tripping can appear in many
ways. At times, guilt-tripping may
be obvious. At other times, guilt
trips may slip under the radar.
Here are some telltale signs of
guilt-tripping.
How to Respond
Many factors play a role in
determining how you may respond to
guilt-tripping. These include your
ability to communicate assertively, the
gravity of the situation, the impact of
the guilt trip on you, and even the
amount of time you have in that
moment
Recognise and
acknowledge the
guilt trip
Start with self-awareness. The first
step is to be aware of what is
happening. Know the signs of guilt-
tripping. Recognise and
acknowledge the guilt trip for what
it is.
Understand the impact
of guilt-tripping on you
Are there other emotions present
besides guilt? Could there be any
resentment? Fear? Anger? What
might be underlying these emotions?
In what other situations do you
remember feeling this way? What
thoughts are running through your
mind?
When you are being
guilt-tripped
It can be helpful to start by
understanding that another person’s
behaviour is out of your control. No
matter how hard you try to convince
them, how they choose to behave is
ultimately their decision. Focus instead
on what you can control – your
response. Do what you can.
