Manipulative Behavior
Manipulative behavior is very easy to pin-point but often goes unchallenged. A manipulative person can be a very sweet and likable individual, until it comes down to them wanting something that they will not take no for an answer about. Signs of manipulative behavior includes someone who repeatedly plays the victim even when they are in the wrong, throws temper tantrums, pretends to be incompetent or helpless, and someone who makes promises but never has any intentions on keeping them. A manipulative person knows what to say and what to do to force someone to believe an trust them. These people are very sneaky and it's hard to get them to admit to their lies or mistakes.
