Mind games are behaviours that lack authenticity, they are misleading someone else and are typically used as a strategy. These games are confusing and often manipulative, they can leave a person feeling powerless and questioning the relationship and the other person’s intentions. They will often love bomb you, bond with you again, then offer affection to gain control of you again. Even gaslight you and make you doubt your own truth of what is really happening to you so you doubt your own realty. Guilt- tripping you so it makes you feel responsible for something, that is not really your fault. They could want to play the victim, always being the one who is wronged by others. They could project their behaviour on to you. There is no authentically here, they are misleading to you and others. They have no authentically and use power as a strategy to play games, to confuse you, to be manipulative to you and leaving you feeling powerless and alone. They like to attack others as it makes them feel powerful to control other people. You will question the relationship and the intentions often they are narcissists and love to play mind games its part of their tool box. They use an intricate web of mind games to feed their hunger for power and control of you and as a source of inner power over you. It validates there illusion of power and superiority over you. But really it masks their fragility they hold within as they are really broken inside and empty like an empty shell. You could say to them something like

“Well that is interesting?” or “Tell me more about that?”

When you do this you are exposing them and their real behaviour. They could even shut down and not know what to say any more. They thrive on confusion emotional reactions, and ambiguity with you they need this for their own perceptions and to cause insanity. But tell them you are not interested in mind games and shame them with the truth. Using specific words so they know that you know, what they are really doing with you. They like to control the narrative, so stop playing the games with them, limit the engagement, stop the conversation with them, and find others to talk to. Get your own power back and stand in your own power and speak your own truth. Redirect the responsibility and their being able to access you, let them know you are well aware of the game being played here. Confront them, and let them know, it is inappropriate behaviour to do this. They will often use hot and cold behaviour with you. Alternating between being intense, affection and then sudden unexplained indifference or a complete withdrawal. This will make you feel off balance, confused, not sure what is happening to you, or why it is happening to you, so you are never sure what is going on here. It is emotional manipulation to make you feel responsible for their negative feelings. To test your boundaries, to establish power and control over you, to coerce you into a compliance with them.

This is a technique used by bullies who want to win against you. They want you to behave how they want you to behave, to unsettle you and take credit for what you are or what you do. As they are really competing with you so they win. Wanting to deflect their own bad behaviour on to you. Saying they have your skills and knowledge but this is a lie. It is important to them that you doubt yourself and your own abilities. Using obsessive behaviours as they need to be in contact with you always. They are possessiveness, manipulation, use guilt, belittling, sabotage, isolation, controlling behaviours this is all toxic behaviour, silent treatment. You will see these tactics in many forms, so you need to counter balance them effectively. All of this lacks honesty and is misleading to you. It is used as a strategy to target you, so don’t let them control you as these are power games they are playing here. It is intended to influence them into performing acts of psychological tactics used to manipulate, intimidate, or to gain an advantage over you. When someone interacts with you using covert behaviours that are designed to mislead and to trick you into you into doing what they want you to do. This is all done to undermine your confidence, to force you to act in the same way, that will work and benefit from this in some way. It is not straight forward, it is denying reality, making a person question their own memory or facts. What do you see is happening here!

What To Do When Someone Does This?

Set a firm boundary around you to protect yourself. Tell the person you know, what they are doing to you.

Don’t play the game with them, disengage, cut them off, separate from them and do your own thing.

Ask them questions to heighten their behaviour.

You can also block the person from contacting you.

Say to them “Well that is interesting?” or “Tell me more about that?”

Use very clear communications and boundaries.

Always stick to the facts.

Don’t Let them create emotional arguments around you.

Use verifiable details and be direct with everyone.

Asking probing questions so they need to explain themselves.
