Is it manipulation or a way to push you in the direction they think will be better for you?

It can be very hard to find the line between those two ideas. But basically what I have found is that it is never a good idea to try to "control" another person. No matter how well-meaning the act was intended. It is better if the change comes about from within rather than someone else's pulling of strings.
