I’m not sure this person is an asshole but definitely manipulative. Maybe a manipulative gossiper is a better description…

Whateva! It’s your decision.
Personally, I cut out manipulative people outta my life cuz have experienced them and they have all been female, except for 1 guy who was very charming.
(Being charming is not necessarily a good thing cuz it makes me think of Ted Bundy!)
It’s girls & women who are the excellent Manipulators! They use their bodies!
So watch for that!
Oops, meant to type So watch out for that!
On second thought, I have known 2 manipulative guys and the 2nd guy was British and beautiful, SUPER charming and interesting!
