Are you aware the people who tell you what you want to hear, or share your concerns about the world are most likely to be the people manipulating you?

@Wallflow3r I was agreeing with you. What’s the reason for the eye roll?

@AdmiralPrune I was agreeing with you too. The eye roll emoji was just a mere expression of my annoyance when people try manipulating you into thinking that they want the best for you when really it's to make themselves feel better and fill their own insecurities.

@Wallflow3r Ah I see. Apologies. I’m cooking a meal and I’m an appalling multitasker.

@Northwest This is the truth. You’re being analysed for where your biases falls so it can be used to push you in a desired direction. Left or right, it’s the same scheme.

@AdmiralPrune
Bro, this is a word salad. People have a choice.

@Northwest Suit yourself. “Bro”

@V00doo Indeed, like dealer they try to hook you and make you dependant on them.

@AdmiralPrune Manipulation is not always negative. It can be used for positive influence to inspire healthy behaviors or achieve common goals. It can be negative when it involves deceit, coercion, exploitation, or selfish personal gain.

I think maybe you just don't like the word 'manipulation'

@faery inspiration and manipulation are not the same thing.

@AdmiralPrune No, they aren't, however, you can manipulate in order to be inspirational. Like I said, you have a strictly negative view of the word 'manipulation'.

noun: manipulation
1.the action of manipulating something in a skillful manner.
