What to say when someone is trying to manipulate?
Manipulating someone is probably one of the worst things you can do because it shows that you are trying to control someone instead of letting them be themselves. If you notice that someone is trying to be manipulative, call them out before they get any success. Call them out and let them know that their manipulation will not be taken. Protect others as well by telling them of how manipulative the person is so they will be warned and aware when interacting with them.
