Yes, indeed! Words are the manipulators most powerful weapon. Succinctly and wisely put. Sending you love, dear Anne.

Manipulators gather anywhere, minding the show, even here I've seen over the few yrs I've been. It looks as though you may have the answer. There is more love if we look, Anne-Lise :)

Manipulators are everywhere - There are no easy answers ... the best thing is to keep your distance ... look for love and share it, Anaya :) - hugs

If only folk could see through their lies Anne-Lise - but some folk are getting wise to their method of operation! hugs Jan xx

- The manipulator is preoccupied with looking for weaknesses in other people, Jan ... and is skilled at it - hugs

Usually you can spot them a mile off, standing up to them makes them scurry away in search of easier prey. My motto is trust no one until you get to know them better, never drop your guard. Wise words Anne Lise. Tom

I love this one, Anne-Lise. If ignoring them doesn't work, do unto others as they. "They" seem to ignore the golden rule.
