Do you feel too afraid to say anything in case you say something which angers or aggravates your emotional abuser? Do you feel as if you are being guilt-tripped?

This is part of being in a manipulative, coercively controlling relationship, job, group of people etc. Your emotional abuser(s) will use your fear of how him/her/them will react to coercively control, manipulate and/or gaslight you.  Your emotional abuser(s) may even say they love you and care about you, Your emotional abuser(s) will try their best to convince you that everything they do is for your benefit not theirs.  Your emotional abuser will tell you they have your best interests at heart at all times...as long as you continue to do what they say/ask which are classic manipulation and/or guilt-trip tactics designed to make you feel guilty for even thinking about questioning their motive(s)  If you question or challenge you will see how their anger escalates or how they become aggravated.  In reality your emotional abuser(s) are using your fear of their reactions to control, manipulate, and/or gaslight you.
