how do you deal with people who play 'mind games'

that really really really REALLY makes me angry ( teeth clenched) - ie people who use certain words to trigger you,they say things you don't like, but not only not like the words they use, you're angry because the words that that person is using are not relevant to you, nor are they true, so that's why your angry at them.

how do you respond to people like that?

Stay clear of them. Don’t open yourself to anyone you think is deliberately insulting or being rude.

Remember this: People can only treat us like we allow them to. So in a sense we condition them how to treat us.

If someone treats you badly, keep distance with them and realize that they are interrupting your peace.

Most of the time, things we interpret against us by others is more about what’s going on in their own lives and little to do with us! 🙂

@durinsBane1983 I’m not assuming anything about you!

You asked a question that I answered the way I believe, and trust me buddy, I never assume anything about strangers on the net.

In the case of my answer, you are way over reacting and you just proved my answer. My reply has NOTHING to do with you. It’s your perception but an incorrect perception.

I reply based on my experiences and things I’ve learnt in my lifetime.

But I’ll stay clear of your questions as it’s evident, you think everything is about you… at least you have with my answer. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

But no worries. I’ll remedy the problem. Best of luck to you.
