Relentless prying into your weaknesses and privacy (interrogation)

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Compulsively prying into someone's private life, painful past, or devices โ€” or checking them without consent โ€” to gather material for control and attack.

Often seen in situations like these

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "What wounds do you carry?" "What scares you most?" โ€” deferring the answer doesn't stop the digging.
๐Ÿ“ฑ Your phone gets opened without consent; live location sharing gets forced despite your refusal.

๐Ÿ’ก Decide what you won't answer and which devices you won't share. If your refusals get ignored or the information gets weaponized, stop further sharing โ€” and, within safe limits, keep records of the remarks and the access.
