So, I’m constantly trying to improve myself. Manipulation is one of The strongest tools that someone can use in order to get what they want. With manipulation you sacrifice morals. I don’t like sacrificing my morals. With time I have practiced using less and less manipulation with more and more genuine honest responses. Unfortunately this is the hardest part. By doing this, everyone who capitalizes on manipulation by bending other people to their will apparently see me as a mark. I am intentionally not manipulating to be a good person, but it heightens the amount that I get attacked. It is not that I am primarily gullible or naïve. It is that I simply do not like attacking people, so it projects the false impression that I am weak prey. I simply want to love, and be loved…
