How easy are you to manipulate?

Are you the puppet or the puppeteer?
Find out who pulls the strings in your life — you or everyone else.

1. How often do you do things you don't want to — just so you don't upset anyone?

Almost always — it's easier to agree than to argue Sometimes, but then I'm annoyed with myself Rarely — I clearly separate my wishes from other people's

2. How do you react to compliments?

I get embarrassed, flustered and often make excuses I smile, but sense a catch I accept them calmly and say thank you

3. Is it easy to make you do something by playing on your pity?

Yes, I'm very sensitive to other people's pain Sometimes I fall for it, if they push cleverly Almost impossible — I can tell emotions from manipulation

4. What do you do if someone takes offence at you “for no reason”?

I start justifying myself and blaming myself I try to smooth things over, but not obsessively Let them sulk if they need to

5. How often do you sacrifice your interests for others?

All the time — otherwise I feel ashamed Sometimes, but then I regret it Rarely, only if it's a matter of life and death

6. If someone starts pressuring you…

I give in to avoid “making a scene” I resist, but may give way I won't let anyone control me

7. How often do you justify your decisions?

Always! Even when it's my own business Sometimes, if pressured Never — I think it's unnecessary

8. If someone openly lies to you, how do you react?

I keep quiet — I don't want a conflict Sometimes I put them in their place, sometimes I say nothing I always respond and set boundaries

9. Your communication style in difficult situations:

Be soft, anything to stop the arguing Sometimes I give in, sometimes I hold out to the end I don't bend, even under threat

10. How do you make decisions?

I always ask for advice — I'm afraid of making a mistake I sometimes doubt, but decide myself I rely only on my own goals and values
