compliance

Manipulation and control tactics are often used by insecure people that fear losing their relationship ties. Manipulation can come in many forms such as guilt-tripping someone into doing something or withholding affection or sexual intimacy as a punishment for non-compliance. Often the manipulator will love bomb their victim when they feel that they are losing control of a situation or over relationship ties. They also like to play the victim, by blaming the actual victim, in order to make them feel sorry for them which acts as a way to deflect attention from their manipulation and a way of not taking any accountability for it.
