These are the phrases that controlling people use the most, according to AI

In different environments, such as family, work or relationships, it is possible to find people who try to impose their will on others. These controlling people exert their influence excessively , manipulating situations and restricting the autonomy of those around them.
An analysis carried out by artificial intelligence identified that these types of individuals tend to use certain phrases with a high emotional charge, which can generate guilt, dependence or a feeling of debt.
Although they may seem harmless, these expressions seek to manipulate and condition the emotions of others. Identifying them is key to establishing limits and avoiding toxic relationships.
The most used phrases by controlling people- This is for your own good: This expression is often used by those who wish to justify invasive or restrictive behavior.
- If it weren't for me, you couldn't do it: These types of statements reinforce emotional dependency by making the other person believe that they are not capable of acting on their own. By doing so, the controller belittles their abilities and reinforces the idea that they are indispensable for their well-being.
- You always know I'm right: With this phrase, the controlling person tries to invalidate any perspective other than his own. In this way, he reinforces his power in the conversation and limits the other person's critical thinking, imposing his criteria without allowing questions.

- I can't trust you to do it right: This comment belittles the other person's abilities, justifying the controller's constant intervention. The victim thus ends up in a secondary role and with a growing feeling of incompetence.
- You should thank me for everything I do for you: With this strategy, the controller seeks to create an emotional debt in the other, making him or her feel that he or she must be in constant gratitude. This manipulation generates a forced commitment and a feeling of obligation in the relationship.
Words play a fundamental role in the way people relate to each other. While those who exercise control find security in their behavior, those under their influence can be emotionally affected. Detecting these attitudes and learning to manage them is essential to building balanced and healthy relationships.
The words that the most liars use, according to AI Identifying when someone is not telling the truth can be tricky, but certain language patterns could serve as red flags.
Janine Driver, author of You Can't Lie to Me and an expert in lie detection, says that language analysis can reveal when a person is hiding information or distorting reality.
- Use of ambiguous terms
- “Words like ‘maybe,’ ‘probably,’ ‘I guess,’ or ‘I think’ can make their story sound less firm. This gives them room to adjust their version if they feel stuck,” the AI says.
- Repetition of questions
- “By repeating the question instead of answering directly ('Me? Did I go to the party?'), they can gain time to formulate a response.”
- Constant pauses or hesitations
- “Frequent use of 'um', 'ah', 'well' , can be a sign that they are trying to construct the lie in the moment, rather than remembering something naturally.”
- Excessive denial and the use of truth
- “Phrases like 'I swear,' 'I really do,' 'believe me,' 'honestly,' or 'the truth is,' are used to reinforce what they say, but they can be a sign of insecurity about the credibility of their claim.”
