Welcome back! I think you are being a little hard on yourself. On some level, everybody is doing SOME form of manipulation. Everybody has some self-interest. As long as you are not hurting anybody or have any bad intentions, I see no wrong in it. In fact, I think being a charismatic and social person who provides fun and positive energy and vibes to everyone around him is one of the best things you can be and provide.
