Re: Mind Games
Mind Games can be viewed within two contexts.
***However the general perception is that its a coercion with negative intent. ***
Now that can range from attaining a one-up manship within a relationship to succeeding at work . It is done by adopting a strategic approach to attaining a goal by “foul” means because an “ulterior” motive than what has been presented is involved.
***I figure there are two distinct personality types who use this approach…to a large extent everyone does from time to time however there is ***
Personality A…whose lifetime achievements are reflected by how they “stepped upthe ladder” or dominated a relationship equation by knowing which “buttons” to push and what to say to lull the involved parties into a false sense of security or trust.
Personality B…who is aware that they can take a “step -back” approach to a situation and attain a goal which while may not hurt the other party still does end up making the party feel like they were not dealt with in a forthright or honest manner.
The question arises though whether Party X was indeed the “victim” or just failed to take a less emotional approach to the situation ?
