Though, for the most part, it seems to assume the "manipulator" is always aware of his/her intentions. Not always so.... many facets of this behaviour do stem from contributory factors such as childhood upbringing, environment, education, relationships with peers, etc and the resulting actions, stemming from feelings of insecurity, inadequacy and the like are not always realised by the person themselves. Often, because someone, for whatever reason, feels out of their depth in the usual social inter-action with others, cannot hold their own in a coherent debate, etc they resort to means other than using their personalities, i.e. manipulation. It evidently raises self-esteem issues, help is clearly needed and should be sought.
Its the "intentional" manipulator that I find most unsavoury.
And, its not always overt, sometimes extremely insidious. Also, let's not forget there are those that are happy being manipulated. For those with a weaker bent to their personalities, they prefer to be "led", as it were. For those unawares.....
Just because YOU can't see it, doesn't mean its NOT there....
Yes, I know it was one of yours, it stated so on the Forums..... and yet when I went into the thread, the first poster was someone else entirely... not you!!
What happened there then??? A thread started... and when entering the thread, the first poster was someone completely different to that stated on the Forums...??
The thread is now gone for some reason... anyone see it?
I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'Cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman
You can bend but never break me 'Cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh, yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman
I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long, long way to go Until I make my brother understand
Oh, yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman
