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.

"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....."
