How to use "Manipulation" in context?
At its most basic definition, manipulation is the use of psychological techniques to change someone's attitudes, beliefs or behavior. Manipulative people typically use these techniques with the goal of achieving their own goals, often without regard for the other person.
While manipulation can occur in any relationship, it is often most harmful in intimate ones. In these settings, a manipulative person can use their power over their partner to control them, often fomenting fear and insecurity in order to boost their own ego.
Manipulative people can be difficult to spot, partly because they often act in ways that are either subtle or even unnoticeable.
