It is about getting needs met. Difference being, there's directly expressing needs, then round about ways, of circumventing the need, where the intent is masked. It's the how's, not why's, that determines whether it's manipulative. Otherwise, everyone on this planet is manipulative, because we all, do, indeed, have needs.
