When we feel manipulated we usually resent it. More often we are not aware of hidden cues that affect our emotions and actions. A pattern, movement, seemingly inconsequential gesture or other “signal” unconsciously influences how we feel about someone or a situation.

Who knows? You may be interested enough in this kind of topic to “follow” me at Forbes too.
