The difference is easy to spot. An awesome person uses this insight to make other people smile. A sociopath uses it to harm them.
So manipulation is ok if the end result is good? Is manipulation inherently bad or neutral? I ask only for your opinion; not trying to be combative. There's the popular perception that manipulating people is evil, and it'd be interesting if you're arguing against this notion.

Is it manipulation to understand why a person smiles when you tell a joke? The joke itself was the manipulation: it caused them to smile. Insight only allows you to craft better jokes.

All social interaction is manipulation to some degree.

This 100 times. Asking a girl out? That's manipulation. Job interviews? Manipulation. The whole of human existence is based on the manipulation of other things.
The problem is when someone manipulates another person 1) for their (the manipulator's) gain AND 2) at the expense of the person being manipulated.
Fail of my day: Having to say myself "Someone in this argument has got to act like an adult and take responsibility.", in an ongoing feud with my father.
I have heartburn...I'm 18 and I'm having heartburn. Screw wisdom teeth.
I've had persistent heartburn since high school. Prilosec (or the generic) is your friend for long coverage. Ranitidine is your friend if you need it to go away RIGHT NOW, but it doesn't last as long.

Thing is, my heartburn is probably a result of the combination of not eating a lot and my combined medication (some generic antibiotic and tons of advil.) Adding more pills to the mix will just flare up the stomach acids even more.
Those pills reduce your stomach's production of acid. Ibuprofen doesn't have a problem mixing with them. They aren't like TUMS, which is actually horrible for chronic heartburn; it just neutralizes the acid that's already there, which prompts higher acid production. It's definitely worth at least asking a doctor, if you are concerned about the effect of the combined drugs. You shouldn't let heartburn go without treatment for too long. It can be very corrosive to your esophageal system.

You don't even wanna know how I've discovered I really, really should get mine fixed. Oh my horrible god. For those with a morbid facination, whited out below.. Bit into a hard nectarine, shifted it to the right rear side of my mouth to chew, bit down and Bam, half a mouthful of pus and serious pain like a MOTHERFUCKER.
Double fail - I can't afford to get them fixed. At all. No matter what I do right now.
Well today I discovered why I have no respect for all the teachers at school, they use worse grammar than the students.
Dear All
Tomorrow there will be a tuck shop in the canteen during all three school breaks. All the money which we raise will go to the Red Cross to support the poor, suffering victims of the Earthquake which occurred in Chile on the 27th February 2010.

Dear studenet, remember to return any overdue library books before we break up for Easter.
I'm pretty sure I just had a panic attack. Chills, lightheadedness, feeling like I was going to have a nervous breakdown, capped with a momentary contemplation of my own name and face leading to a horrifically introspective period of intense depersonalization. Now, they might have been unrelated to each other, but I am unnerved. Sleep now.
