Manipulation?

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone knows if anxiety can make someone more vulnerable to manipulation and covert aggression?

Manipulation?

Dear Chris,

Anxiety has that edge so aggression is always lurking. The manipulation might be more to do with one's anxiety causing an over reaction to stress. So a lot of exagerated behaviour would come out which is partly manipulation and partly just not being able to anticipate or predict a stressful trigger.

You know it's not going to be good.

Adios, David.

dear Chris, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you are the Chris with OCD.

Well with OCD which is caused by a major factor and that's anxiety, then 'we are more vulnerable to manipulation', which then makes us do more habits and rituals. Geoff.
