I Hate Manipulative People

Ugh. Honestly, these are the worst kinds of people. Pure scum. It's even worse when they try to hide it, and try to act like they are your best friend when they're really not. I once knew someone who acted like he understood when I told him about all the times I had been taken advantage of for various things. Oh yea, he understood all too well. So many people are really quite different then they make themselves appear, claiming all sorts of things to shape their false image, and can also use these things to manipulate you further.

While there are so many people like how I specified above, I can't help but understand that their are probably people out their that are manipulating other people without noticing it or doing it on purpose. I don't really have much pity for them, it's still wrong, but it's far better than if they did it for personal advancement.

And my favorite part about manipulative people? When you finally take matters into your own hands, they viciously try to rewrite the story and make it so you're the bad guy. Really? That's low. They won't even apologize for any of the things they've done, because it's all your fault.

This story is really supposed to be about the people who try to do this kind of thing on purpose. I mentioned people who are manipulative without doing it on purpose, and like I said before, I don't entirely blame them. Also, I have come to realize that even sometimes when it seems like people are manipulative, sometimes they are not. It really is a large gray area, but there are definitely people who can be considered manipulative. It is wholly true that not everyone is perfect, far from it, no one is perfect. I'll admit it, I'm not perfect, I've done a few things I'm not proud of, but that's normal, it happens to everyone.

I second the motion,but I would like you to know that not all people you've mentioned above are like those. Have faith. I know it's really hard to trust people this days because of issues like what you've said. But the world is not that bad like what you think. :)

Yea I know not everyone is like that, but there's just so many people that are like that, I guess I just have bad luck meeting people like that.

Don't worry,me too. Just think that those people you've met were only there to teach you lessons and to make you realize important things. :) Have hope! :)
