It it's selfish and unhealthy to manipulate people. You can't always get what you want. It's much better to accept life on life's terms. How do you feel about others manipulating you; is that okay?
Lets be real, you probably get manipulated a lot. We don't live in a perfect world, and manipulation doesn't always have to end up hurting another person. Hence my distinction between normal manipulation, and bad manipulation. Most people don't even know its happening, and its not like I take away peoples free will, I just get them to agree with me. Wheres the harm in agreement? Its better than argument. And if someone was manipulating me, and I didn't realize it, then good for them, they must have some real special skills. And if they were trying to manipulate me and I realized what they were doing, I would make a point of not giving them what they want. They're obviously not good enough to get it.
What's the point of going through all that trouble if you can't even love them back? It's still selfish to manipulate others into giving you want when you're incapable of returning the favor. There's plenty of harm in agreement if agreeing with you causes the other person to violate his or her conscious. Arguments aren't so bad if their honest. What's best is to agree to disagree. If someone doesn't like you as much as you'd like instead of obsessing over the person and 'getting the person' to do what you want why not just accept that individual along with the situation?
I fucking hate being manipulated, but I have given props when it's been done well and with pure,good intentions. But trust me, if I find you out and I happen to disagree with your position significantly, you earn my disrespect.
Is it normal that I don't love back?

I guess. But its harder that way. I manipulate naturally, ever since I was younger. But you make a compelling case, so I guess I can try it your way.
