How do you socially manipulate others?

Depending on how old you are, you have to try to please everyone but do it in a way that nobody gets what you are up to. I'm guessing you have some agenda.It is important to appeal to what the person you are trying to manipulate likes. Listen for rumors so that you might have something you could use against people. And never let anyone get anything on you that can not be faked or talked out of. if you need more help just ask for it, I'm not proud but I'm very good at this.
