Would your friends do your bidding?

Would you ask a friend for a favor? Asking for a favor, an advantage vs. exploiting their position or manipulating a friend. We're not talking “bidding” on Ebay, we're discussing the difference between asking for an advantage and manipulating your friends.

Friends provide you with unique advantages in life and that’s the collaboration and sharing side – the sun shines for everyone. However, are you confusing asking for a favor or advantage with manipulating your friend – my gain is your loss.

Advantage: “A factor or circumstance of benefit to its possessor.”
Manipulate: “To change by artful or unfair means so as to serve one's purpose.” – Merriam-Webster Dictionary
