**OK.
I reckon that makes sense?
If I say 'I feel manipulated' I am owning the fact that this is a feeling I have personally.Its all about me.
When I add the 'being', then that puts it more outwards toward someone else, cuz I am saying it( the feeling of being manipulated) is comming from an external source.
I think?
SEEMS logical.
Thank you.
I find this very complicated...
But then I find people very complicated,
Hell I find all of life complicated.
Take care,
