I am the same way due to my social anxiety but I just like you recognize manipulation immadiately especially with experience of a manipulative partner after a bad relationship I had in high school.
I also struggle to call someone out in person but have less issue doing so over text where I also get time to properly plan what i'm gonna say and not get too nervous by being there with them in person.
A guy tried to manipulate badly this year and he didn't succeed, he seemed surprised and repeated how nice and sweet I seemed he even called me naive once but used a different word for it so he got surprised that he didn't succeed. It's a good thing you can stand up for yourself even if it's not in person, in time you'll learn to stand up for yourself in any situation since you already have the strength to do so. Some people can never say no wether it's face to face or in some other way.
People take advantage of me for being too nice
