Do you feel that you manipulate?!
Question: Do you feel that you manipulate!?
I find that manipulation is everywhere!.!.!.it's actually almost impossible to be in a relationship with out SOME degree of manipulation!.!.!.other wise people may never agree on the same restaurant or movie!.
It takes a certain amount of manipulation, or sneaky suggestion, to live alot of our lives!. It's minute!.!.!.but it's there!.
What do you consider 'O!.K!.' manipulation, and bad manipulation!.

Everyone manipulates!. So if everyone does it, whose to label good and bad!? Like, what I think is bad, someone else might have another thought on the issue!.
I think everyone can get someone to do something or influence a decisions in their favor!. Not always, but we all try!.
Perhaps when we have reached Enlightenment, we will stop!. :-)

It all depends on perspective and personal motive!. Manipulate is the opposite of suggest or fulfill!. But really what is manipulation or manipulative action!? Essentially anything that you do with a hidden agenda that is viewed as negative in the eyes of the person being manipulated!. There is no such thing as 'ok' manipulation!. What you need to do is straighten out your agenda, figure out what is important and what isn't!. If you can't go through your day without honesty then what is the point!? If lying is what brings you happiness then you need to do some soul searching!. Look within and find reality, focus on it and don't let it go!. Good luck!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I'm usually dumbly honest, i can tell some facts of certain things that only cause me problems instead of advantage!. And i'm also kinda equal in relationships, i can judge my best friends over something that is against my morality either i would see why she did so!. Some people just don't find this so comfortable and turn preferably to some secure and manipulative people!
I don't see my self really manipulative, and i notice quickly manipulation in my relationships and i always want to know the main reason why someone wants to be in my company!. I can really like test people over it! Maybe it's think for me to learn in this life, to trust and manipulate!

I'm an Aries, and I'm awful at manipulating!. I pursue, and when I get something I want, I want to know its because of what I said or what I did to convince them!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i do, but not like for my own good only where someone elses choice goes down!. Eg, when i dont want to go to school becuase the day is a bludge, and my mum would still tell me to go, i would manipulate - maybe perhaps exaggerate without lying or lying the least as possible!. There is no harm to anyone!. But i would never do it because i dont like the other peoples opinion and make sure mine is right!. I also manipulate with people who have hurt me in the past, depending how hurtful, that is the level of manipulation and perhaps a little bit of acting so that i like them rather than shout and end it!. I would try to minimise it as possible, but if i do this - actually no one will like me, specially when i grow up and have a job!. I wouldnt pick on people who havent treated me badly, weak or strong or whatever!. Perhaps acting sick has been my main source of manipulation, specially at home and school - grades are going down, but whatever, its a free life to do whatevr!. I guess manipulation is good if you use it the right way, which is for your own good - or what you think is best for you without effecting anyones life!. Manipulation for your own gain eg!. money, power etc to me is just very selfish!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Guilty as charged!. I think everyone is!.
I manipulated people who worked for me at my old job!. I called it "offering incentives" or "pay for performance", but it was really a form of manipulation!.
I think it's okay to manipulate within a structured environment (there's the Capricorn Sun showing) when you are given the authority to do so, and when it's to the benefit of the greater good!. (Can't see my Aqua moon there at all, can you!?) Like the way a manager may gently manipulate his/her crew to get the best performance out of them!.
I don't think it's okay to attempt to manipulate the public in general (through playing on others sympathies by "playing the victim" or fear by spreading fantastic lies, for example) or in open communities for the good of self (to gain friends or support by being fake, to win attention by complaining constantly and loudly!.)
That's why I think it's very important to analyze these behaviors and attempt to identify a person's motive before going along with it!.

I absolutely agree with you!. Everyone manipulates!.
I am an emotional manipulator!. I honestly think it comes from my Cancer Moon, because I can sense how people feel so easily and twist it around to my will!. I love to make people feel guilty by bringing up situations from their past!. I am also a bit dramatic at times too, so if I feel that the situation is not as under control as I would like, I'll make a dramatic exit leaving everyone shocked!. I am very good at making others seem like they are the ones at fault, and I can turn things around very easily and convincingly!.
Now I certainly don't condone this behavior or see it as good!. I think that it's a flaw of mine and something I do on a whim when my feelings are too wrapped up!.!.!.Maybe even a way to protect myself!.
Now as a Libra Sun and Rising, I certainly know how to push things in my direction subtly while keeping everyone happy at the same time!. I mean if you're talking about something as small as what movie to see, I would probably just make a suggestion while leaving open possibilities for others to choose, while slowly and subliminally making them feel that my earlier suggestion was the best choice!.!.!.!.
Though in situations like that, I think the direct "I want to do this, and this is what we're going to do, d*mn it!" often works the best!. : )
Really though, I don't need to manipulate to get what I want in simple situations!. I think my manipulative side comes out a lot more when my emotions are involved!.
