Emotional blackmail is a powerful means of emotional manipulation, that is, controlling others with fear, responsibility and guilt in life. Emotional blackmailers are divided into four types. The first is punisher. Such people say, unless you do what I mean, I will punish you. The second is self-punisher. Such people say: unless you do what I mean, I will punish myself. The third kind is victim. Such people say: if you don't meet my requirements, then I suffer, which is caused by you. The fourth is the teaser. Such people adopt the carrot strategy, but never let the person who meets their requirements really eat the carrot.
According to the above definition, the scenario in which a male college student shouts at the dormitory building of the girl he loves, climbs up a big tree in front of the dormitory building, and threatens to jump down and commit suicide if she does not come out is an example of emotional blackmail.
