Sometimes I say sarcastically that I could easily start a cult but frankly I don't know how unrealistic that truly is. I've seriously been around people who I wasn't intentionally trying to control and it seemed that anytime I said something that could be perceived as saying, "jump", people will ask, "how high?"

Haha, I'd ask if you were her except I know she'd never be on a psychology message board! It's interesting to know that it happens with other people too. People don't believe me when I describe it to them, but people we worked with back when we met called her "the lesbian whisperer" because straight women who had never ever been attracted to a woman before all wanted to date her. It seems like it would get annoying after a while though, I guess I don't like people enough to tolerate it. I like a select few and the rest annoy the s*** out of me.
You're probably right, I guess you have to have that kind of magnetic charm to start a cult? Probably some psychosis too though, cult leaders always seem to really believe whatever weird apocalyptic crap they're convincing their followers of.
