Andrej --- Manipulation, as you know, plays to our emotions or hot buttons...some people, as in used car sales men are masters of the game. However, we know that they will try it before we go to buy a car and only have ourselves to blame when we drive off the lot in a bright red mustang that cost several thousand dollars above price...(there's a story there!) Secondly, if by chance we have been manipulated, we lose trust in that person and it ruins the relationship.
