I Hate Manipulative People
I always disliked manipulative people, mainly because they are very selfish. I just cannot connect with them, even if they are not trying to manipulate me at that moment.
But I also recently had a small epiphany. I realised how incredibly easy it is to manipulate people. I was at a meeting, and I had an almost out of body experience. I felt like I was watching the whole meeting completely objectively, because it was a very aggressive meeting, but I did not feel it that way. I saw how everybody was completely absorbed into their own thoughts, mainly unaware of themselves. And I could just feel how vulnerable were they to manipulation. And I tried that power, and I could just lead the whole group into whatever my motivation was.
I really felt like a sociopath, since I could feel the enormous power and ease of manipulation. I can understand why this so addictive. If you ever feel this way, please be careful. It feels good, but everybody hates you. Is it worth it?
