"manipulative" is one of the worst words in the English language. It is far worse than the word "insecure". It is buuuuuuuullllllllllllllllls**t.

It is just an umbrella word used by ignorant people who have watched the movie "Fatal Attraction" one too many times. They use it to describe us when the fact is that they don't want to take the effort to understand us and/or help us and/or simply tolerate us.

If they want the true definition of "manipulative", they should look at the narcissistic pr**ks that run countries and big businesses.
