Hi so my friend said I was manipulative and at first I was angry because I know I never wanted to or meant to manipulate anyone. But ever since then I've been thinking of it almost everyday. What if I am actually a manipulator and I don't know it? How do I fix it if I don't know if I'm being manipulative. What is the exact definiton of manipulation. For example asking your friend to be there for you more. Is that manipulation? When telling someone you have put a lot of effort in to put in more effort into the friendship or relationship because you feel that they aren't putting enough effort. Is that manipulation. But after my friends left me I feel so much better now. So was I being manipulated? Because no else has ever called me manipulative. Others have called me weird, emotional and many other things but never manipulative but still I don't know. So am I a manipulator without knowging I am one???
