> My thoughts are that we label things "mind-games" (with the negative connotation) when they make us a uncomfortable to whatever degree.
Right, and the goal of these boards is support and education, so those games aren't appropriate here.
> As far as "controlling" mind-games, I don't know how far someone can control them...
So I try to exercise some control over who plays.
> However sometimes we may think others want to play when they really don't which makes listening that much more important... it's always better if everyone is on the same page.
I agree with that, too, making sure you're on the same page is the way to go.
