Attacking people for things they do wrong feels good, but it does not deter them from doing those things (and might actually strengthen their resolve to do them). It's a goid emotional outlet but it is an ineffective way to bring change.

What is an effective way to bring change? Manipulation, unfortunately. Which sucks, because I neither like it nor am good at it. But it's the most effective way.

I'm considered manipulative because of my selfish emotions and stuff, but I hate using deception or being seen as manipulative so it doesn't end up being useful in my opinion

A good manipulator is never seen as being manipulative. Manipulation only works when no one knows it's a manipulation.

But you have to tell people if you're manipulating them, that's a rule
