i agree essentially. manipulation isn't always some shady, disrespectful thing its just normal human interaction, trying to get what you want one way or another manipulation without scruples is awful but manipulation itself isn't bad
I feel that it's my problem if I've allowed myself to be manipulated. I really can't blame the person can I? Just expect everyone to be ultimately out to get you, and then you will be less likely to be manipulated in the future. :cheers2:
Oh, I'm well aware of this. I sale stuff for a living. Yea, I hate everyone just about anyway. Might as well be a hermit.
Psssh, yeah! I have to manipulate my husband all the freaking time. Make him think it was his idea to clean out the garage.
Yeah i know it sounds like i am trying to be a smart ass, ive just been studying so i have it on the brain, i know its not funny, sorry
Eh, yea, but that's not hurting anything. It's almost an art form to get get men to do anything but sit around...
i actually did find it funny haha i just couldn't come up with a proper response...way too high and watcihng Office Space haha
Thats what the 'ego' needs to believe, anyway. Everyone with a TV/radio/friends/any interpersonal contacts/thoughts... has been and is being 'manipulated'. It is rarely known or understood by the 'victim'. As I said, the 'ego' is involved and will blind you to the fact that you are manipulable; "Not me! I'm special!" Anyone with a 'belief' is easily manipulated; anyone with an 'ego' is easily manipulated. (From the Perspective that 'manipulation' is possible in the first place...)
