Manipulation comes in many forms. It could be your doctor pressuring you to get a medical procedure that you don't need. Or your mother controlling every aspect of your life. It could come from a woman desperate to manage everyone else's decisions, even minor ones like whether they lock their phones or not. It could come from a boss who keeps volunteering you for work that you don't want. Or it could be just the knee-jerk inability to control your emotions in the middle of an argument with your spouse.
