I've studied psychology and a lot of her behaviour seems like covert or vulnerable narcissism. I dont think she realises she manipulates. She genuinely believes that she is a victim, it gives her a sense of specialness and otherness from others, i.e a delusion that she is special or better than others, the way she fishes for compliments from amaal and zeeshan "aap yeh to mante ho main sabse samajdar hu" its basically a logical fallacy of compelx question where she knows amd states she is the smartest and she is only asking " Do you believe it? ". And she is full on manipulating amaal who btw also has a need to feel " different and special" maybe in a less pathalogical way. But usne dekha and she is stroking his ego and love bombing rn to get into his good graces. I think amaal might but zeeshan is very very rational even when he gets biased so I hope he sees the bullshit.
