There are many examples to learn from.

@assemblingaknob read a book about them, they are actually pretty predictable.

@Dolimyte after you get to know their patterns of behavior, yes they are. They can be superficially charming in the beginning and whenever they want something from you. The minute they get what they want (even if it’s information) they turn on their heel and leave making some sort of excuse. And they individually have certain keywords that let you know that they will attempt to manipulate you....one asks me “can I ask you a question” so I am alerted that something is coming. My sister will say “Oh, by the way” usually when she is scheming something mean on me so I can figure it out quickly.

@cherokeepatti glad you've got them figured out.

@Dolimyte I’ve had a lifetime to do it. When they lie or deceive you in some way it makes you a better listener. I wish I’d had a tape recorder a long time ago to record some of them. My sister got recorded for something she did and the guy took it to her husband to show him. They gaslight anyone who can tell off of them so it was the smart thing to do.
