There is such a thing. To be manipulative is to get someone to do something that you want them to, and to be sincere about it (going for the more noble sense of the word), is getting them to do something that will benefit THEM, versus you.

Thus, asking someone to politely do something is an example. When I suggest that the kids might get dessert if they finish everything on their plate for dinner is another. ;)

There is, but I do not like it. You use it on those who wish to believe they are in control or on evil people, but not on simple people or wise people. When the simple do wrong you can use shame and it will work. With the wise you must be frank and they will love you. The foolish use tactics to deny the truth so you must counter with clever tactics of your own. With the evil, they must mock good things. You must set your boundaries and be very firm. You use manipulation to counter theirs to force them to recognize the truth. They must see inside of them who they really are, if you ever wish for them to return to humanity, In the end, the rule is, use manipulation to wrestle someone into the truth if they choose to resist it.

Sort of. Honestly, I've gotten to a point where I'm not sure if I'm sincere, insincere, manipulating people.... I've kind of gone on permanent autopilot mode.

I can be and know just how to get Joey to do what I want and I want him to control his temper and be more tolerant of others, I also want to submit to him in most things.

Manipulative to get a child to make the right choice? Yep. But anyone else is gong to be up for a rousing discussion with me.
