i have ruined the relationship with my family by manipulating them every chance i get. i wont go into what i've done to them but its pretty messed up stuff. they realized i had been lying to them and manipulating them into doing exactly what i wanted and i didnt care how much it hurt them. now ive started doing the same thing to my friends. its not like i really do it for any specific goal or purpose, i just do it to see if i can get away with it. i like the feeling of being in control of them. at the time im manipulating them i feel no remorse and enjoy it then later feel extreme guilt. ive begun to see where its starting to ruin every relationship i have with everyone i know but i still cant stop. ill find myself manipulating people and not even realize im doing it until its done. and i dont mean small manipulations. i mean serious, drastic things. is there a such thing as an addiction to manipulation? or is this a symptom of some other underlying problem?
