Should they never be used, or can they be in special circumstances? If it's to help a person, does that make it okay? Or should everything be left up to that person? Or are they another way to terrorize people?
I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

Meh, it can be fun to mess/tease around with friends.. 😀 But you can't use it with bad intentions, like purposefully creating conflicts.. Or withholding the truth that they have the right to know..

It's a question for your conscience.
And it's not like it's damaging only the manipulated person - it's bad also for the manipulator. After a while, he gets paranoic and unable to trust people. So the price is quite high 😐
Anyway, I was always a fan of the "lesser evil" choice.
And, hell no..I'm never gonna believe that people here never tried mind games out of egoism. We're not saints.

It's all fun an games until you figure out how mentally fragile the average human is... although most of the time the fun still seems to out weigh the potential trouble and drama if you don't care enough about the victim.

I think mind games are mean and manipulative. I can never see how people can find them fun... 🙁

It is an acquired taste, American beer taste like shit but look our society.
I do not really care for it requires some really good manipulator
to control my mind. What comes to others, too bad if they cannot
figure things out themselves.

I play them. I've been told that I'm good at manipulating people to the point of being crookish. But I have a big conscience, I never let it get too out of hand and it's only for jokes and stuff.

Your my kind of person specially because you have a big 😉 consience.
I also agree with fool it is an acquired taste only for those of us who like thngs bittersweet.
And I have to disagree with indreju it doesn't neccesarily have to make people paranoid
Me I find it interesting the human psyche how fragile it is and how it can be toyed with. Does that make me bad 😕
I mean common from a scientific point of view psychology is always interesting/appealing 😁

Mind games should not be used with friends... there should not be a reason to.
But mind games exist originally to be used against enemies. It is somewhat sad that it is now used as easily as a smile.
Me? I prefer to be direct and to the point and prefer people to deal with me in the same way.

I've always found it amusing to watch people dance to my puppet song *evil 🤣 *
I'm a Psychology Major, and I'd agree that its interesting to see how people's minds work.
And I do it just so i can poke fun at someone later, I don't do it to ruin anyone's life... 😔 I find it odd how everyone immediately associates mind games with messing up people's head...

I think the ones who voted yes, associated mind games with playing tricks on your friends and having a good laugh about it.. Nothing too serious..

Being aware of mind games and not being influenced by them is a good practice. People that are manipulated are as much at fault as those who manipulate others, IMO.
