    My friend who is no longer a friend, she was a right manipulative cow and because of that, I never let her manipulate me and she couldn’t handle it. After that, I cut off the friendship because she was really a piece of work when she refused to return some of my money. I felt better off without her but carried on the friendship with her male friend .

    I used to be quite a manipulative person but have changed as ive got older. I tend not to be manipulated though because im quite aware of the “games” others will play to control you. I am neither manipulated nor am i the manipulator!
