Are you a manipulator? Have you ever been called a manipulator? Do you purposely manipulate people?

I try to Manipulate at least one person a day. It's what I do for fun.

No I have never been called that and I am not really good at making people do what I want

My MIL is towards my DH and I tell him what to look for so that he does not fall for it. lol

I dont! I am not a person whom even could.

I haven't been called one.

Who called you a manipulator? Lol

My mom says that to me, every time we have a disagreement. No idea if she's right, but it takes one to know one, so she may be right.

I've been called a manipulator but idk if it counts because it was by my ex husband. I was trying to get him to go to school and better himself but he saw me as trying to manipulate him to be the person I wanted him to be. I guess my manipulation tactics didn't work so well because he doesn't have a pot to piss in and I take half his paycheck every payday.

Yes I've been called one while in an argument but I googled the word manipulator and shut them down lol

I manipulate my kids into taking naps all the time ??‍♀️ ?

Yes too many times, I used to be extremely manipulative now I try not to be like that but it's hard. People are very easily manipulated and I'm very persuasive

No i couldn't. I believe in freedom of will

2. A person who handles or controls something skilfully.

I know some very manipulative people and I always wonder if they are aware of it or if it's something inherent in their nature that they have no idea about.

ETA: I've noticed it on here as well

Recovering drug addict here. I used to be so vile and manipulative. Thank God I am not that person anymore.

No but I know one. ?

No but I wish I could, that way people can bring me bread while I sit on my throne. ??

I can be and I'm quick to spot a manipulator too. I see it a lot here in the bb world. Especially from the "well known" users

Baby yessssss. I think we're on the same page

Lol yes we are. I was thinking of this word as I was reading actually.

I think people who are manipulative definitely know they are. It's a skill that I believe requires mental fortitude to carry out.

My mother in law is a master manipulator ?

An ex said that I was manipulative but then I showed him the definition and he revoked it. The word he was looking for was b**** . Which I fully admit to being.

I am. It is not a quality I am proud of.

I really fight hard to keep myself in check because naturally I'm a pretty selfish person.

My ex boss that currently owes me $800 who won't pay me TRIED to manipulate me. I guess it works when he talks to other people but never worked for me. It actually pissed me off more than anything. Probably the only one I have ever truly encountered. He would always try to make our arguments my fault when he was arguing with himself. I even told him one time he tried to manipulate me and he agreed and I told him to stop because it doesn't work. ?

No, definitely not but sometimes I wish I were.

Yea I can be. Looking back I was worse when I was younger. But yep spot the manipulator a mile off... Iv used the same tactics before!

At work yes, its part of my job getting ppl to do things they dont really want to do.

In my personal life I'm not at all, I dislike manipulative ppl immensely.

Sometimes I can be. I used to do it purposely all the time when I was younger
