Role reversal
You raise a problem, you become the problem.
Deny, attack, then play the victim (DARVO). The topic shifts and you end up apologizing.
The signs
- /Your complaint turns into a trial against you
- /"You're the one attacking me"
Your move
Bring it back to the original topic. One sentence, no counter-attack.
Example
"We can talk about that too. Right now I'm talking about Saturday."
