Are you a manipulative person?

I have been manipulative a couple of times or many times. I would usually manipulate with my soft talk and soft nature, but not very often. It would just come out in a very unconscious way. But mostly, I manipulate in love relationships. We all manipulate with our partners, and it's very common and I have seen it in most relationships how it goes. But sometimes it goes too far with the partner misusing the trust and manipulating his woman just to hold her back, even though she wants to move out, by creating emotional guilt in her and putting all sorts of negative thoughts her mind. I don't play those kind of games. I just manipulate a little for constant attention and nothing else. :-)

I am certainly not a manipulative person but that's because I'm a really bad at persuading a person. Although I used to know a person who got anybody to do what she wanted though I was the only one who didn't listen to her. She just brought trouble to my friends and now that she's finally gone everything is back to normal. Everyone has the choice to make their own decisions and it should be left at that.

This is not far by any means. A person shouldn't be manipulated in any way or form. If you want to collaborate that's a different story but manipulating doesn't work and doesn't make friends

I think manipulate is just a strong term. I work in an industry where I constantly have to tell people what to do, to get things done. I don't see this as being manipulative. Instead I'd call this, providing leadership. I know that my example pertains to jobs or in a working environment, but you can use the same skills in everyday life. Like directing people about their decisions in life, or directing them not to go to a party.

No, I am not a manipulative person type. I am more of a listener. I really do not see any good about being a manipulative person because any person who suffer that treatment will have an insecurity and identity crisis. That was based on some experiences I got from some of my peers. I do not manipulate others mind because I have respect in every person I deal with. I accept things as they are and as much I can be helpful to them if any. Some manipulative person are unaware of others feelings or also they are product of such. They see themselves in others that is why they tend to see it is also good for the people they will manipulate. But they are not good. They tend to disregard some feelings and freedom of a person. Instead it will be harmonious, it would lead to painful memories.
