5 Reasons Men Play mind games

1. He is afraid of being hurt.

Not all men are brave and eager to fight. I know a lot of men who strive to charm and control women in order to avoid having the same thing happen to them. Let me give you an example: you receive his message and are ecstatic, but he then ignores you and responds two days later. They want to make sure they can be pleased even if you aren't around because expressing their feelings makes them vulnerable. It's not invulnerability that's the issue; it's the fear of getting wounded. Fear is usually at the root of any negative action. Why do men engage in mental gymnastics? Because they're terrified of experiencing emotional anguish, which is understandable. In these cases, you need to figure out if he really likes you. You can accomplish this by not responding to him as quickly as you have in the past. If he becomes concerned about losing you and begins bombarding you with texts, he is merely attempting to conceal his feelings.

2. They believe they must be in command.

Throughout history, men have typically made all of the decisions. The times have changed, but it can take time for people to shift their perspectives. When a male tries to tell you what to do and how to act in an indirect manner, he is attempting to be your commander. He attempts to act kind, but tries to influence you by making you feel bad for the things you do, because he knows you won't let it. If you're continuously feeling oppressed and guilty, all you have to do is do anything you want. No one has the authority to change your mind.

3. He has a low sense of self-worth.

If you've ever wondered why males engage in mind games, all you have to do is think about it. People with poor self-esteem, for example, are more likely to brag about their appearance and accomplishments. Nonetheless, they are prone to having self-doubts. If your boyfriend truly believes what he says, he will never feel the need to repeat it to everyone else. My suggestion is not to pay attention to him if he attempts to make you feel less important than him and show you that he is the prize. Don't stroke his ego because he'll only get worse. Don't pass judgment on him or be antagonistic to him. He could be in a lot of pain on the inside.

If you try to talk to him about his self-confidence, don't expect him to be very interested. Keep in mind that allowing him to play these types of games can sabotage your relationship.

4. He'd like you to go after him.

Both men and women are corrupted by arrogance, which is one of the worst personality qualities. How can you tell if someone wants you to follow him? He regularly cancels your date, makes fun of you in large groups, or flirts with other girls and wants you to know about it. This is, by the way, very simple to understand. That's it if you find out he texts a lot of girls other than you. He wants you to be his biggest fan. I understand that it would enrage anyone, but the best choice for you is to simply ignore him. You don't need someone who doesn't value you, and the most severe penalty he will face will not be your vengeance. But his failure.

5. Someone has previously hurt him badly.

It's difficult to trust people after being duped by someone you thought you could trust. Fear and suspicion are at the root of his actions. Perhaps he wants to be absolutely certain that you can be trusted, so he puts you to the test. For instance, if he conceals something from you and you learn about it from others. It's possible he's trying to show you that he doesn't trust you yet. Again, try to learn more about his past, and don't be offended if he behaves in this manner. The only thing you have to do now is reassure him that when he's with you, he can unwind. When you're around, offer your assistance anytime you believe he needs it, compliment him, and just make him feel good. He'll undoubtedly let his guard down.
