No. Not ever really. I tend to consider well how to best to present something to a given person, but it is about figuring my words out (to not get flustered in actually talking) and to tailor it to the person's particular traits. It's about getting along though. And aiming to not rankle them, so that they might actually listen. Without considering like this, I almost always regret what or how I said something (and see/hear it over and over and over it plays in my head... Ugh). (All bets are off what I will say when up, but it'll be obnoxious or embarassing, not manipulative.

I can't even really control myself, let alone other people(!). :-/
