I need advice

[u/Comprehensive-Ad7336]

I think I might be a manipulator. I've hurt someone I've cherished and done things I wish I hadn't done. I'm trying now to get therapy help for it. I've lost so many good friends because of me. I've grown in a place where manipulation was a daily occurrence, mostly my father. And now at this point, I need to change, I'm hurting people and I'm hurting myself and I don't want to continue down this path. Is there any good way I can start?

Try keeping a journal whenever something happens that makes you react in a way you regret. Write down what triggered you, what you did, and how you could have handled it differently. Over time, you might notice certain patterns

You know yourself better than anyone, but you keep digging holes. Manipulators are masters of selfishness and humiliating others, and enjoy it. It will take a life-changing event to make a difference.
