    Manipulation doesn't even exist imo. Im not going to write out some big comment but let me explain some examples of why there are no such thing as manipulative cycles. EX1: you want to play some games with your friends but they tell "hey i thought we were all going to jessicas party" now your thinking hey wait they are trying to manipulate me into going to their party? ANSWER: No they are not their just going to a party and THEY thought you were coming too only to find out that you didn't. You see the problem is there is no wrong or right answer BOTH sides should do what THEY want PERIOD! EX2: Telling a friend to clean their room or telling them to clean your room (that's worse) that also can be seen as manipulation because you are telling them to do an action which is [to clean their room] they might say no you can't just keep demanding they clean it because that could be seen as a sign of forced physical work/labor so you should leave it at that. But then if you do nothing they will turn into hoarders? See what i'm saying now?. EX3: Religion nuff said. That dumb stuff like the Bible, the Quran, Buddhism, Hinduism and all the other stupid religious hoopla nonsense lol. Those idiots are having existential crisises everyday and don't even know it probably half the time they just love to TELL you what to do that's MANIPULATION PERIOD!

    Come out of your thoughts fr, just by saying 'you were trying to manipulate us' towards the very end of video doesn't make all those who watched it till end, victims of your manipulation.

    This video is kind of funny. If you're truly narcissistic, this video will fuel your ego and likely make you even more convinced that yea, you're treated so badly. And people who are or have been victims of emotionally abusive manipulation will recognize what it is they went through. The call for empathetic understanding at the end will go over many people's head, because we can't conjure empathy in others by simply asking them to think about how the other person feels. Psychologists and psychiatrists would otherwise have quite the easy time!

    I've gotten the shorter end of that stick for 22 years and was so afraid to actually demand equality and fairness because if i did bring up the fact that they were not respecting and loving me they would give me the silent treatment and bully me for weeks, there were times that it had gotten really fucking bad and i hate how people that you were supposed to trust and care for can hurt you so much, it is disgusting.

    Your videos are literally just when you're thinking about a topic and you're arguing with yourself in your head on both sides and never reach a conclusion. Except, you do reach the conclusion in your videos.

    I am always aware of those who are "deep". Those are the kind of people who look for new ways and think so hard to be creative in manipulating others. As a stoic, I fully invest in listening to people's tone, sentence, analyze their stories, and remained quiet during their expressing sessions. These "deep thinkers" are non only but narcissists.

    i'm not a manpiulator, but sometimes i feel like others just like to show up to make things about themselves so they can act like they're being abused. my current neighbor would know, or not. who knows? i wouldn't be shocked if it was because someone online communicated something to them. unless they're all-knowing. 12:30pm

    Sadly, this happens far too often. The fact is that if you are not able to control your own emotions then someone else will. If someone else is in control of your feelings and emotions, they will hurt you in any way they can… that is how they feel empowered.
