I never tried to do this with anyone. Manipulation has everything to do with lying and creating false situations to control someone. I was wrong to always think people were taking their friendships away and to confront them with it, or plead with them not to leave me when they finally had enough of me and did leave, but I never once lied or intentionally misrepresented myself to anyone.
