Aren’t you ever suspicious of people who are telling you exactly what you want to hear?

Sometimes. But I’ve also been told that people think I’m dishonest because I don’t share my opinions on everything, and let others rant whether I agree with them or not. 🤷🏻‍♀
I don’t think I’m as easily manipulated these days as I used to be, but I’m sure some very intelligent people still fool me often enough. Or, in the case of politicians, even if I’m not fooled, I’m still going to get screwed over just like everyone else.

That would be a good question for Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin.

Megalomaniacs like them end up surrounded by people like that. Those that don't tell them want they want to hear don't stay around too long.

And I sure don't consider myself easily manipulated.

I'm just suspicious in general

Yes...but THAT's EXACTLY what I wanted to hear...!

No, i think for myself.
My eyes arent as good as they once were, im not as fast as i once was, but my bullshit detector is very keen

@AMelancholyHaunting you can only be manipulated if you let them into your world stand by your courage and own conviction what your decision is the right one for the situation

Yes, I'm suspicious when a strange man on the internet urges me to "cool off." You tell that to your wife, not to me, a woman you don't know.

I get those comments mostly from women, and that's one of the reason why I mistrust women.

Sorry I wasn't paying attention. You were saying?

Especially psychics
