Mind games

Mind games are when someone tries to mess with your feelings or emotions by saying or doing mean things. Sometimes they might even tell lies or try to confuse you. It can be very hard to tell if someone is playing mind games with you because they try to be sneaky so it can be hard to recognize. It's important to remember that you don't have to put up with these kinds of things and try to find ways to stand up for yourself.
