Why do we engage in Mind Games?

 

Hey pple... How long would you wait? This is a good way to find out what sort of personality you have... btw, I'm a no. 1.. it's interesting when i reread it again.. mabe you can give it a try as well... and let me know wat u got!

Cranberry Mist also wrong about one thing we are inevitable of engaging in.. "The Mind Game" many of us have became Masters without even realizing it.. Why then do we engage in Mind Games?

For one.. many people just can't deal with direct straightforward answers.. not ready to face reality. & the awkwardness that comes after is also another factor.. for instance if some one ask u for out and you know you are free but there is no way u can answer him that.. "No, I dun like you.. I do not want to be associated with you" but "oh dear.. i guess another time.. it's not a good day today, i've something on/I'm unwell/I'm going home".. this is just one example...

Another reason is how we want others to view us.. or the role we take on in different settings.. there some form of self-censorship depending on the company you are with.. only at certain times you can truely be yourself.. & only with the treasured few that sees this..

Maybe the question is not why do we engage in Mind Games.. cos in reality.. we all do.. but to wat extent do we have to engage in such Mind Games? I think each situation is diff... & of cos the company you are in as well... & Mind Games.. it may not be so evil as we think.. i guess if you use it in the right way.. it's a good way to avoid conflict and just a way of passing on ur message watever it is in a diplomatic way..

I read aother friend's blog today.. many a times we have to make choices: be it going to church, going out with friend, being at home with family... when can we say one is absolutely more important than the other.. it is cos "WE CAN'T".. we should not only live for ourselves.. and yes we can't live for others too.. everything must hang on a balance.. as long as we are TRUE to ourselves and it is for a good reason and not excuses... we are intelligent beings.. so just have to prioritise.. you are wat u believe... you are the outcome of the decisions you make today and you & only you have to answer to God to yourself at the end of the day.. dun try to live up to other's expectations.. dun try to be someone you are not.. BALANCE.. it's all about doing the juggle!

That's for today's airing of unwanted opnions.. Thanks for listening! :D
