@Farang131 it doesn't matter the way many people use the word, but rather what actually is
@Farang131 almost all of human communication is manipulation
A baby crying is manipulation.
A valid, sound, deductive argument is manipulation.
Appealing to a sense of duty is manipulation.
Offering money in exchange for a service is manipulation.
Anytime you or anyone else tries to get someone else to change course, take actions, cease an action, etc etc etc it's manipulation.
Manipulation isn't inherently evil or good. It just is.
And it behooves one to be aware of it.
@Typo-MAGAshiv Fair point but I think many people use the word when referring to deceptive or abusive manipulation rather than normal day to day manipulation.
It's like everyone lies but if you are called a liar it is usually done so when you are lying above and beyond what is "normal" or "acceptable"
@Typo-MAGAshiv perceptive comment. Types of manipulation are either permitted by society, frowned upon or banned. But these are societal value judgements not absolute differences. What is permitted certainly changes across time and then the sheep all think they have discovered the true form of morality.
"Yeah sounds like we both dodged a bullet Miss hot and cold"
"You really should find a nice boy your own age that treats you like a prize."
Clearly you, Farang, were "please stay" side. Read your words. You didn't want her to speak "for learning", but to debate her reasons and make her feel wrong. Well i bet if she had a doubt, after this she's 100% on her standing now.
Learn the lesson: do not debate reasons and next. Also, that you are just a dude, not the prince of roman empire, thus no one owes you shit.
Most people think psych degrees teach you about top tier manipulation tactics
It really doesn't. I've learned more about psychology outside of my degree but none the less it was a good foundation
The brain and body really work in tandem in ways you wouldn't expect
