If you’ve ever felt like you’re being pressured, controlled or even feel like you’re questioning yourself more than usual—it could be manipulation. Don’t allow others  to try to manipulate you in order to satisfy their personal agenda or appease their own insecurities! Being manipulated is not a good thing. Manipulation can take many forms, often subtle and insidious. It’s essential to trust your instincts and recognize when someone is attempting to control or manipulate you. Your autonomy and well-being are paramount, so don’t hesitate to assert yourself and set boundaries to protect yourself from manipulation.
