What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear of the term manipulation?
For many people, manipulation is a faraway phenomenon that happens to other people, and not to themselves. It is highly unlikely that you will be going about your day thinking about manipulation or worrying that others are manipulating you.
Yet the truth of the matter is, manipulation is everywhere around us. It is in sales adverts that try to entice you to buy something that you do not need by convincing you that you do need it. It is in the puppy eyes of a lover or child trying to get something out of you. Manipulation is also at play when a passenger is trying to charm a flight attendant into getting a first-class upgrade. In short, manipulation is everywhere in your daily life. The only reason it goes unnoticed is because high chances are that you are not looking out for it. In many cases, it is often so subtle that even if you were looking for it, you would not notice it.
People are often a product of their environment, whether they want to be or not. The way people are raised directly affects the way they act in later life. Someone who is raised by alcoholics has a greater chance of becoming alcoholics in adult life, or they may choose never to drink at all. People who are raised in a house where everything is forbidden may cut loose and go a bit crazy when they are finally out on their own. People who are raised in total disorganization may grow up to be totally obsessive about household cleanliness.

People have many good reasons for to conceal the true selves in public. Some of that has to do with trust. Sometimes, they prefer to hide their true natures for fear of not being liked. Other times, they feel it''s to their advantage not to show their hand until it''s time to play it. For every person on earth, there''s a unique set of motivations for the modelling of two faces. This is not necessarily consciously pursued to deceive others. It''s more a matter of self-preservation and that''s part of the natural, human survival instinct.
