When dealing with a manipulator, you must not go on the offensive
We encounter some form of manipulation almost every day. Most of us manipulate unconsciously, and only 20 percent of people are pathological manipulators. Unfortunately, it is these disturbed personalities that you may meet at work or are part of your family. Most often, a sense of power, a learned pattern of behavior, or a fear of failure is behind the manipulation. And some people simply enjoy it. But for everyday communication, manipulation is devastating, and if you can't fight back, it will grow into frustration, sadness, induce fear and anxiety, and attack your person and competence.
