[ As with so many things Akechi says, it hurts and heals at the same time. Feels good to have that acknowledged by someone else, feels bad to acknowledge it himself. ]
I know. And I don't like it any more than you do.
But I suppose I'm only going to prove your point by saying that I believe people need someone in their corner more than I need - well, anything. Trust me, Akechi, I hear what I'm saying. You don't need to point it out.
There's more I could say on the topic, but moving on to your true point...
Yes, that's always a danger. I like to think I'm good at reading people and can tell when someone is genuinely manipulative, as opposed to simply emotionally needy. That said, I'm not infallible. When it comes to someone with the motive and means to exploit someone to truly do harm, I'm as exploitable as anyone else is.
