You give in to them and let them 'win', as they see it , and it will escalate and get far worse. If you show that they are not going to get you down, and that they are not going mto win, which is their goal, then eventually they will give in. My opinion of people like this is that they are merely seeking attention, and the less attention they get the better.

Ah particular, the emotional vampires! they are enormous power suckers. Black holes. loopy makers. you may no longer exchange them. sidestep them. cut back off all ties. despite if that's a family contributors member, proceed to be indifferent and distance your self as much as conceivable. do no longer respond to their calls for. those with the silent scientific care? they are passive agresssives. The worst of the lot. eliminate those first. they are insecure, self absorbed and function many issues which you maximum possibly won't be able to help them with. maximum % expert help to handle their emotional neediness. For some reason they frequently have an interest in the remarkable and properly adjusted people who look reliable and sort hearted. that's a drag!

Pretend that it doesn't bother you but be prepared for things to get worse but only for a short period of time as long as you can hold out and be strong.

Laugh at them and tell them that any dirt they have on you is nothing compared to the constant torment and dismay you could cause them. Beat them at their own game, be evil!

Very, very hard this, but you just have to not give in to them. If they find it works they'll just keep on doing it!
