Answer 1

In my experience I find that these type of people will always be manipulators and they will move on to the next person. It is unfortunate that they do this but that is how they are programmed.
There are lots of reasons for manipulators to get that way and they are really people hurting under it all and they want control no matter the circumstances. They want to lash out and hurt and I think it is due to them hurting and so therefore they want you to hurt so you can relate.
These type of people can drive you nuts if you let them so don't let them.
I am going to refer you to an article that deals with this but it is an angry article and has a few cuss words. Otherwise it describes an emotional manipulator pretty well.

There are no such things as manipulators. There are only those who choose to be manipulated.

Think about it. If you are a so called manipulator and I choose to ignore you or worse, then what does that make the you as a manipulator? Nothing. You can threaten me, you may even be able to control my physical continence, but you have no control over the way I think or feel. So what is it that you are manipulating when I know that I am not my body.

Well how do you feel when you lose control over a sistuation of something. Some may get Angry some may get sad some may think the world is out to get them because this is "Normal behavior for them to be in control"
Anything that consist in CHANGE can let the emotions go off the handle! now if this change is from the person then most emotions are in control if the change comes from an outside source then emotions will show!
mainly people like this are not proactive and wait for the world to change for them! instead of changing it for them selfs!
Hope this helps!
Best of luck

Answer 4

I do not think that a manipulator like those in movies etc actually exist in the real world. In our world, manipulators are people who basically are more pesausive and influential over another person.

These "manipulators" would convince others for their own benefits. It is like influencing others to do things that they want them to do. They only seem to have control, but they don't really hhave any. Another person who a good amount of influence over that person will be able to convince him otherwise. An example is maybe your friend. He/she would keep talking or praising about a new bag that you become convinced that the bag is a perfect make for you. If they convinced you so, for their own benefits like money or to make fun of you, they would be considered to be a manipulator. They would feel disappointed/angry over the lost of control of a single person and would not wait for move on to another target.

So long one is strong of will and in the mind, one will not fall prey to these manipulator. If you hope to stop these manipulators of hurting others, try talking to them heart to heart. Usually they suffered in one way or another and they feel outcasted by the society. They answer is to inflict pain on others so that they would be able to convince themselves that they are not worst off then others. However, some are out to simple cheat others of their money as a way to gain more money without working hard for it.

Answer 5

The Sheik is wrong.
There are manipulative people and they do seek out the people they can manipulate.

In my opinion, if the relationship has been of short duration, when it breaks up, the manipulator tries more manipulation to keep it together, and if it doesn't, he developes anger and resentment towards the other person.

If the relationship has been long term when it breaks up, the manipulator tries a lot of manipulation to keep the relationship together along with threats and rage. If the relationship ends, anger, stalking and violence are common.
