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.
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.
