Prone to manipulation?
This topic was created in the Gemini forum by glamazon on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 and has 11 replies.
Just curious, is it in a gem's nature to manipulate others to get what they want (i.e., by using their persuasive and charming verbal skills)? (and not necessarily for evil desire, btw.) I'm sure it depends on other aspects of a person's chart as well..
Seems like three of the five gems I know are kind of like that. Makes me wonder.

It's human nature to try to get what you want, no?

sure, it is human nature. there are ways of achieving what we desire without psycho-manipulation though. that's just my opinion!
Everyone I know with a brain will do/has done this at some point. Maybe you've noticed Gems are more prone to it? Geminis are actually pretty stubborn than we may come off. Hehe.
As for being very manipulative... I can't say much more. I've grown into more of a direct communicator. :3

I agree, I'm pretty sure everyone at some point has done it.. but the three Gems I know... *smh* I can understand why they do it sometimes though... if it means what they WANT is to SPARE another person's feelings. but I like the whole "direct communication" thing. it eliminates the need for complete bullshit.
Who is 'Sharpe'? And how can I manipulate you to think otherwise? Bwahaha 
Atheists? I'm confused why you threw that in there.
Yes, I manipulate to get what I want. Everybody does...and then they get pissy when others are better at it.
"Manipulation" sounds so diabolical, though. Gems aren't evil. I use manipulation for pretty mundane things.

Yea, I think this is more of a human trait. That is all.
I don't give anyone anything they didn't want.
...sometimes my verbal manipulation skills take over and I very much get what I'm wanting.
I think maybe I just 'helped' them realize it really WAS what they wanted.
Hahaa! So, I shall GIVE it to them. Christmas year 'round.

Yes we are evil, manipulative, cunning and we usually manage to get our way BUT we are not jealous, clingy or possessive. I would say we (not all geminis) got almost the same personality of Sir Francis Walsingham.
