1: The process of changing
something, such as a material. Often used in fine arts and design.
2: What
people who are no better than
shitty little school bullies are doing to others in order to have their way and gain control. Pretty much another form of brainwashing.
"Clara was manipulating the
clay into the shape of a
bowl"
"Max was manipulating the others into believing that his ex was a bitch, despite the fact that she had done nothing wrong, as a means of gaining
power and control over his friends because he was insecure about himself"
"He was manipulating his 'girlfriend' into falling for him and feeling sympathy for him, when actually he didn't care about her or her feelings and was merely playing her for a
fool; he wanted to get away with crashing at her place without paying the rent and leach her
cash off of her because he couldn't be fucked to take responsibility for himself."
Ellie: "How has she not seen that he's manipulating her into giving him money and a place to
stay! Jesus"
Fiona: "I know, he did the exact same thing to me, except he just fucked me over and decided it would be a good idea to cheat on me with her once I found out. It's a good thing I did find out really."
Ellie: "Yeah I
heard he has a reputation for targeting girls who like him....."
