Dont' play the game. This is not master manipulation you are dealing with by any means, and it's not even disguised very well.

The guy isn't too smart if he's just repeating a question you asked...because it means he doesn't know but is too much of a loser to admit that he doesn't know and he's trying to get U to answer so he can say "yeah see?"

Another point: people who repeat something you said are contemplating how to answer or respond to you...this means they are attempting to deceive you. Again, not a manipulation strategy; just not a very bright guy, that's all.

My advice is not to deal with this person if you don't have to, or at the very least, only deal with him when you absolutely have to. Nothing good can come of it.

Also, know yourself and where you stand, or don't speak. Keeps you out of a lot of mishaps such as the one you are describing, and it is a lot less likely that someone will be able to get into your mind and attempt to manipulate.

u have to establish boundaries with a manipulator, unless u want to get sucked into the drama, just don't respond to the manipulator, or his needs. he is just using u through manipulation to get all his needs met, to make u respond so he can get something off u. we just have to see them for what they are, and stay away from these types of people. just refuse to respond to them, or the drama that they display in trying to get their needs met in any way they can. we need to set limits on just how far we will go with a manipulator.

people are manipulated only if they wish too..so its a question to you ..do you want too?. some people who ask question already know the answer to their question they just want to hear what they want to hear, or they just want to show they got something in their head... so why indulge your self with those kind..the best strategy is for him to think that you don't know what he is doing...

Someone who manipulated me last year taught me that the trick to manipulating another is to "keep them guessing. Make them wonder what you are thinking without giving a single clue."

So all that your doing is playing the "Answer a ?,w/a ?" game.........That's not being manipulative..........When
you want to be manipulative,You want to under-mind your
opponent, and make them believe that is what is best for
them...You want to be the one who benefits from the
situation, not sitting there playing the guessing game.

if the question u ask being asked back to you, you have to answer it smartly and then give a punch line that will make him/her think, so that will make him confused and will ask you why?
