95% of it will fall into emotional control.

Manipulation is normally a derivative of influencing or controlling another persons emotions. You'll need to learn to differentiate between your emotions and things that cause you to feel.

Which can be tricky as you have microbes in your body that make you feel as well your own subconscious, so you'll need to learn which are your thoughts, the microbes and the intruders. The best way to do this is simply asking yourself questions on why you feel something? what caused it? and can it be viewed differently?

Be observant of your feelings, the more you understand them the greater control you will have over them and the less control anyone else will have over you and your emotions. In the end it's a battle of control, they will try to draw you into your own mind as it's easier to keep your attention and with attention comes influence. Like the Indian tale of two wolves, one good and one evil, which will survive? The one you feed.

So try to stay out of your mind as much possible unless you need to do wet work and learn about yourself and your emotions and you should fair just fine.
