I am reading an interesting article on manipulation and control and am wondering if a person who tries to manipulate you consistently asks questions that make you feel uncomfortable answering is a form of control.
Example. A mother that needs to feel close to her adult child uses manipulation and asks alot of personal questions and questions on how she 'feels' about things. When this child doesn't answer or lies.. the mother is hurt and upset.

yes, if the controlling person is trying to control you by being close to you or to get you to open up to them or to just get you to be who they want to be (answering their qeustions), then yes yes yes

yes, it can be used as a tool to manipulate, but you can also get out of that manipulation very easily
