Are the mind games we play necessary?

[yardman]

Most of the relationships I've been in is a game of wits and lies.
And everything tumbles down inevitably.
Why we can't just be upfront with each other?

some people are just scared of the truth

 

[全能の神]

its not necessary and it sucks

 

[ISO]

Do you prefer a pretty lie or the ugly truth?

We all have secrets, we're all insecure, we're all inherently selfish

 

[Beedad]

There's so much truth in this thread already.

The games aren't necessary.

When you're young you have the ego to establish and maintain. If you're smart you become mindful enough to try and dissolve it so your interactions with people go beyond the superficial

I don't play games with women, but I've still come across those that still play games even when I'm being upfront, honest and transparent

Nowadays, I just throw a chick into the bushes if she plays games early on, too much of a hassle.

Relationships are supposed to be easy and are supposed to flow and grow into fruition. Playing games changes this.

They were never necessary

It's an involuntary defense mechanism, mostly to protect ourselves
