HOW TO RECOGNIZEWHEN YOU'VE BEEN

POWER PLAYED

IN DEALING WITH

OTHER PEOPLE, WE

OFTEN FALL PREY TO

THEIR MIND GAMES

AND POWER PLAYS.

PEOPLE HAVE THREE MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN DEALING WITH POWER PLAYS AND MIND GAMES

1. CANNOTRECOGNIZE

3. TOOPARANOID/

TOO POLLYANISH

2. CANNOTRESPOND

WHEN IT COMES TO NOT BEING ABLE TORECOGNIZE POWER PLAYS, EVEN THE

FAMOUS PHILOSOPHER ARTHURSCHOPENHAUER RECOGNIZED THIS

PROBLEM:

“It would be a very good thing if every trickcould receive some short and obviously

appropriate name so that when a man usesthis or that particular trick, he could at once

be reproved for it.”

-Arthur Schopenhauer

when it comes to your dealings with a specific person,you may be getting power played by that person.

POOR TREATMENT

This is a general sign, but you find yourself taking onwork responsibilities that you really shouldn't have to.

You receive poor treatment from service providers,government personnel, shop keepers, and others, and

you feel "bad" about complaining. Or, you allow others inyour life to treat you unfairly.

If this happens frequently, you are probably being powerplayed in some way by the relevant person.
