idk about “all men” but I ‘ve met people that are “either one or the other”, and I totally agree the secret is “not to be either one“.

I too believe there is a Father, in case that is any comfort to you.

Indeed. (my highlighting)

Communication with words is possible when both use the same definitions. You made up your own definition for ‘mind games’ (then referring to sectarian usage by transactional analysis); that’s not how I want to converse, I’ve left this thread.

(my highlighting) I think you’ve been “pretty funny” already: That’s “pretty funny” my friend. https://www.britannica.com/search?query=Mind games?

I agree.

Great minds think alike.

Hello to you too, Filantrop. Welcome to the forum.

(my highlighting) “transactions … transactional analysis” As I said:

You are not using the dictionary meaning of ‘mind-games (it requires ill intent).

Thanks for your replies. I’m aware of ‘cold reading’ and I have a developed ‘belief/don’t belief’ switch.

Are you abusing the word “mind-games” in a non-dictionary way? mind game noun : a psychological tactic used to manipulate or intimidate —usually used in plural https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mind game

Blimey. How low can you sink? There’s enough confusion in the world without this sort of mind games. Barf.

I agree.

What bit of “Difficult to know if there’s a connection, lots of other negative influences” do you not understand! Fair enough. I have deleted my post and will leave this thread.

Exactly. Sweeping statements attributing them to ‘we’ . Please exclude me from your ‘we’. Wee wee pee pee.
