eg. I have a friend who's a control freak, he tries to do things his way all the time and unfort he makes a lot of the plans. I would like to plan some shit out without begging for his 'permission' and I can tell that some of his responses are tailored to get his way - I can read this but I don't know how to counteract it/respond? Anyone faced stuff like this? Like I can read someone's moods a lot better but don't know how to influence them properly to get my result?
