The concept of manipulation is an interesting topic. Because there are cases when manipulation is certainly a learned behavior, especially when you grow up in a toxic envyroment. Not just as a self defense mechanisim, but when you grow up in a sphere you were never properly disciplined or faced any meaningful consiquences for your actions, you develop a sense that you can get away with anything if you can charm your way out of the consiquences.(Rich spoiled brats nepo babies who constently get away with cheating the legal system because their oil tycoon daddy can bail them out immediately come to mind.) Another interesting thing that comes to mind is that when people accusse others of manipulation only for the accuser to be guilty of manipulation themselves. It's a classic case of psychological projection.(Especially prevalent in people with Small bean syndrome.)

I listened to the video almost five times now. Life sounds complicated. A lot of helpful thoughts here.

Sometimes I wish other people would tell me why they suddenly dislike me if it is behavior or something
