Manipulative behavior, unfotuntately is kind of a grey area in my opinion. Yes I agree I can at times be manipulative but I'm not so quick to tag this as BPD. In my mind, people in general live to manipulate others in some form. Go to the sales floor at an auto dealership and you'll see quite a lot of manipulation. You want someone to side with you in an argument, you try to sway them in your favor. The list goes on... Don't be too hard on yourself with that.

I just have a hard time believing this is unique to BPD.
