The truth is ...

We are all manipultors in some way ...
As long as the intent isn't to bring harm to another

It can be subtle ...
It can be healing
Or hurtful
If it doesn't feel good ....walk away ...

Very true. I hadn’t looked at it like this.

I was blind to the manipulation until the devastation….
I walked away upon my eyes finally opening

@Kiesel everyone does it to varying degrees not always with malicious intent

I don't think we necessarily realise our capacity to manipulate until put under the right conditions. See an addict at work, then you'll see manipulation. I can vouch for that as I was one. The truth was whatever I needed it to be.

@ostfuidctyvm I understand...but it can be as subtle as giving someone a gift ...

@Aquaabyss Yeah, definitely. Intent is the key and few things are ever selfless to the extreme.

For sure indeed.
Everyone uses manipulation to navigate the world and in subtle ways we don't even realize.
