Scene: You’re on the phone with a friend. They’ve made you angry and in your fight you told them that you just want to be left alone for a bit. You say they aren’t allowed to come to your house until further notice and that’s when the dam breaks. They tell you that if you don’t let them come over they’ll drive their car over a cliff. This makes you panic. You don’t want to be the reason they do something like that so you agree to allow them to come over right then. While this might seem like a far-fetched scenario it is in fact an example of an emotional hostage situation.
