What would you do if someone is playing mind games with you? Would you simply let them know and tell them off or you’d rather not let them know you’re aware of their plots?
Mixed feelings from someone might be the case that they’re playing mind games with you. You can go ahead to ask them what they think about you. This could give you an idea of how they feel about you and if you think they are being honest then tell them how you feel about them giving you mixed signals. You can let them know that you don’t always understand what they are trying to say. If you ever feel that way, you should ask them if they can explain more before taking any answer. Hopefully they will understand that you don’t want an argument but just want to have a better understanding.
The thing about mind games is they’re hard to call out and easy to deny. You more than likely won’t have any solid evidence that this is happening. Thus, confronting them may give them more ammunition. I cannot stand this shit at all so I tend to gravitate more to people who are forthright and genuinely kind. I like spikey people, blunt people, people with no filter, the ones who aren’t afraid to disagree with you or call you out on shit and that’s because you will always know where you stand with them.
All you can do is trust your own judgement and intuition. There are lots of slippery fuckers out there. The minute you become pretty sure you’re dealing with a passive aggressive, manipulative, spineless Twonk that would engage in mind games, by all means let them know what you think but your best bet is to avoid them altogether or if you can’t, minimise contact.
