Manufacture And Overhaul: KNOWING ME TO MANIPULATE ME
Quick recap
The meeting focused on the topic of people getting to know others in order to manipulate them better, with KatNBoots138 and Kaptin leading the discussion. They shared personal experiences and feelings of discomfort when people mimic their behaviors or try to relate in inauthentic ways, often as a form of manipulation. The group explored how these interactions felt, using metaphors like swirling weather, haunted houses, and dancing plagues to describe their experiences. They discussed the origins of their reactions, considering whether these were learned responses or created as compensation for past trauma. The session included energy healing exercises to neutralize and heal the effects of these manipulative interactions, with participants reporting significant healing and a sense of neutrality towards the issue by the end. The conversation also touched on autism, boundary-pushing, and the challenge of discerning genuine connection from manipulation.
