Question

Do you often find yourself rebelling against manipulation?

Answer 1

Isn't that a pretty leading question?  To ask whether you rebel against manipulation is like asking whether you like to be led around on a lease like a dog or doing what you like to do.

I suspect there is a level of manipulation in you phrasing your question this way, and I'm rebelling against it by not giving a straight answer. :P

Answer 2

Yes, sometimes, but try not to get mad and cause a relationship problem.

Answer 3

Yes, constantly, I hate being controlled or told what to do. I like living my own life. Not everyone has this mindset. Most people it seems are "comfortable" with the norm and don't care. If anyone steps out side of the "norm" people are ridiculed. That's just because we live on such an ignorant planet. It's been like that since forever I guess. Just think back a few centuries ago when people thought the world was flat. That was the norm, and anyone who thought outside the box was completely humiliated. I think that's why we don't have that many smart people anymore. Everyone's scared of "What will they think of me" as much as people try to deny it. While continuing to follow each other in sequence, wake up,work, eat, shower, sleep, do it all over the next day. Manipulation is right in front of us but noone chooses to see it.

Answer 4

Yes. Every single d**n day. Rules manipulate us. If you don't want to be manipulated, then live without rules.

Answer 5

More like detecting it, and maneuvering for advantage, as far as that goes.

Answer 6

Not really.  I just blow it off and do whatever I feel like doing.

It's gotten me a reputation for being something of an a$$hole.  But take a good, long look at my picture.

Do it appear as if I really give a $hit?
