Manipulative
A pampered kid was constantly crying. https://x.com/Psychodoctor06/status/1986295371090567613
A saintly man, known for his patience, decided to calm him down.
He asked gently, “Dear child, why are you crying ?”
Kid (crying loudly): “Nobody listens to me!”
Man: “Please stop crying. I will listen to you. Tell me what do you want.”
Kid (sobbing): “I am hungry.”
Man: "Ok. Eat this biscuit."
Kid (sobbing): "I don't want that."
Man: “What do you want to eat then?”
Kid (throwing a tantrum): “An earthworm!”
Shocked, but determined, the man searched in the mud, found one, and said,
“Here, eat this. Stop crying.”
Kid: “No! You have to eat with me.”
Man (hesitant): “Alright, how?”
Kid: “Cut it in half. You eat your piece first.”
The man, grimacing, swallowed his half.
Man: “Now it is your turn.”
Kid (screaming): “You ate my half! Spit it out and eat your piece!” 😭

Moral of the story :
There are many people who are very manipulative in this world. They are not looking for solutions. They are looking for control and abuse.
Don’t let them manipulate your boundaries.
Take care of yourself.
