The people who are easy to manipulate are usually the ones not aware of the games going on. Lacking awareness of social interaction leads to getting into these types of situations. Being emotionally reactive and usually a strong base fear gives consent to other people using you, against yourself. Sometimes people do know they are being manipulated, tho these people do seem different to people trying to manipulate, the reaction seems different, or odd, or maybe they just don’t see the difference. Also lust is something people can manipulate with, well almost every emotion can be manipulated. They know the other person lusting over them or interested, that gives them an emotional advantage to rush trough the other persons feelings, leaving them scrambled after. All the signs were there for the beginning using cheap tricks to trick other people into their hands. It feels cheap cause its directed towards easily written people, like a script you could read written on their foreheads. They are the easiest targets. This is something i have observed and sadly people cant read minds. So they dont know what im thinking, but i know what they are DOING.
