Being manipulated by family members happens all of the time. Have you seen a child cry and have a tantrum to get its mother’s attention? Or your parents pressure you to become a doctor and study hard against your wishes?

Just need more exercise for the frontal lobe of the brain and less for the mesolimbic dopamine system. !lol
I agree with you.
