Do you know someone you have to lie and manipulate to get them to do things that they should just agree to anyways? Just simple basic stuff that makes total sense to you, but none to them for some reason.

I think everyone does this from time to time, it's called being human.

I generally don't lie or try to manipulate people and I don't appreciate when people try doing it to me

I don't either, but you and I would be lying to say we never have before, I think anybody would be lying to say they have not done this before.

I have to deal with reading ops posts occasionally. I feel immensely more stupid every time. It's like I'm growing an extra chromosome.

oh lordy, let me think it's been so long since I have had to do this.
OK so I had a friend who was going through withdrawals, I had to convince her to take DXM crystals to help with withdrawals, saying it would make her feel better. I told her it would not make her feel spaced out, which DXM is a dissociative which makes many people feel spaced out, it made her able to sleep but feel bad the next day. I knew she needed sleep being a junkie myself at this point in my life.
I knew she needed to sleep and to try to be healthy, so I lied to her so that she took the DXM. I don't think that was wrong, do you?
I would never manipulate someone in a truly fucked up controlling way though, I hate when people have tried to control me in the past, so would never do so to anyone.
I think some parents have done this as well to try to help their kids get their footing in life.

Ahh yeah I get ya
But that's not really manipulation that's moreso just helping someone out
The term manipulation usually implies negative intentions

I still felt like I was bending someones will, so was being manipulative. I would never convince someone to do something that would have detrimental consequences in their life though.
I might even say I have manipulated a couple ladies to try anal, which they loved, they should have known that putting things up their ass is amazing, all the porn stars do it so they should to.

I just feel like there's a better word for positively bending someone's will than manipulation
I just can't fathom what that word might be
Either way its just semantics

Manipulation and being persuasive are two entirely different things
