Autism and manipulation
Autism and manipulation
I am finding, that i get easily manipulated, aspecially when it comes to other people's enjoyment. I usually know, when it's happening and still go along with it. This is supposed to be a lightharted post (not asking for help or empathy, I just hope to know more).
You're viewing a single thread.
Remember: consent matters. Whatever they do, and for whatever reasons, so long as YOU are okay with it, that's perhaps all that matters?
Illustration example: a toddler "manipulates" parent, but parent enjoys giving in & playing along.
Well, I usually don't like it, but I really don't know how to respond other than playing along.
If you are kind to yourself in the short-term, then you can get through each day as it comes. And then with enough days and effort put into it, after awhile you will learn what you need to in order to overcome. e.g. some people you just need to avoid, always, while others are worth some pain, but you are literally the only one in the entire world who can sort any of that out.
Wow. That was nice. Thanks. I said I'm not here for empathy, but am still thankful for your answer.
