You've all had one
played against you at one point in your life. You may not have even noticed, you may have played one against someone else knowingly or not but it is almost certain that you have
encountered one.
A
mind game can be anything from
reverse psychology to
taunting and
teasing.
Generally any time that you think you've been
played for a fool or are being played for a fool it's the result of a mind game. They are
annoying but sometimes useful. It all depends on the
context.
Mean spirited people like to play them to
extremes and get some kind of
delight from making other people hurt. Watch out for these people. When you do discover that they're playing mind games with you don't just confront them, they can usually make you feel bad for doing that. Instead play along and
throw it back in their face ever so slightly. Eventually the tables will turn and you'll be the one
playing the mind games. :) That's only fun for awhile though and you have to move deal with the issues and move on. This is a very difficult thing to do. :(
I don't like them, but they
haunt my life,
a life that could be so much more....
