For quite some time now, everyone who knows me and has been in my orbit for any amount of time has told me I am being manipulated (my therapist put it more delicately) and for the longest time I thought it was because I wasn't communicating to them clearly enough; that I was ineffective in articulating to them succinctly - a dynamic they failed to see. Problem was of course, they did see (and understood just fine) and my articulation wasn't just satisfactory, it told them what I didn't/wouldn't/couldn't see. So I started paying attention. Not to prove them right, but to prove them wrong.

That didn't happened.
