Do you ever become a bit weary when you start to see your friends use manipulation tactics?

they are the ones who are weeded and not friends
I am a giver ,to get along with me you are sometimes too or it shows your just a taker
I have carried enough as we called them Mooch's in my life
they take away from others who could actually need the help ,
if you manipulate others ,
we won't be friends long

Act as if you're a victim without them knowing you're the one who's really manipulating

Not really. I just don't 'knowingly' let anyone manipulate me!

Yea I do, I just ignore them :).
