Hey, are you looking at me? LOL, thinking long and hard about this subject. Manipulative behavior can shape-shift, so my red flag is asking is the vulnerability mine? Or a chip to trade for the real want. Really great read,
Have I ever encountered those who use "vulnerability" as a pretext for entitlement! I probably gave each of them too much time and energy, but this slow learner has learned how to spot such people and give them a wide berth. The flip side is that I just don't impose myself on anyone. It's a joy to share time and space with people of good will, and when they need their own space, I find my own.

This is a great write-up, thanks!
Think people who use vulnerability to manipulate will recognize themselves?
