People who trick others by twisting the facts and oftentimes turning people against each other. Makes themselves look like the good guy by making everyone else look bad. Often turns friends against each other using misinformation. The only way to discover a manipulator is by exposing their lies. They are two-faced, so all you have to do is tell their victims what the manipulator is saying. Warning: this will make you a target, although you probably already are. Their common tactics include pity parties and the blame game. Manipulators usually have a goal in mind.
