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

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.
