hi! how do i realistically write things like manipulation? i've been through some of it before, but i dont know if i should use my personal experiences, because the circumstances are a lot different.
Here are three articles from Springhole.net that should help you and that I have referenced when writing a manipulative character.
Writing Liars and Manipulators.
Writing Brainwashing.
Writing Abusers and Abuse Situations.
And here is the TV Tropes page on More Than Mind Control that should give some ideas as well.
Let me know if you need more help! =)
