Meta-manipulation: Manipulating a person into thinking you couldn't possibly be intentionally deceiving them, doing harm to them and manipulating them in any way.
Types of manipulators:
1. The "Poor Me"
The most passive of the four styles, the "Poor Me" describes the typical victim approach. This person seeks to get other people's attention through the manipulative sympathy.
2. The "Aloof"
Slightly less passive than the "Poor Me," the Aloof’s goal is to create a vagueness around himself, forcing us to pour ourselves into getting information which is normally shared in a straight-forward, casual manner.
3. The "Interrogator"
More aggressive than the previous two manipulative types, the Interrogator uses criticism to control others.
