@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"
@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.
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
@Farang131 the link should have taken you straight to the comment
If it didn't, then don't sweat it. You'll never find it in the sea of comments. Thanks, though
@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 the whining bitch. Read your words.
