mind games

Just curious. What is it with Aqua's and their mind games? Why not just be upfront with a person instead of playing games?

its hard to believe they have minds let alone play games with other peoples.

Well here's the problem...to Aquas, they don't always consider certain things as mind games. When an Aqua wants to know/find out something, they will do whatever necessary to figure it out. Aquas don't go on unnecessary journeys just for their health. I do agree that some Aquas can take certain things to an unnecessary level & that those things can easily & understandably be seen as mind games/manipulation, etc.

Aquas are accused of playing "mind games" the most during the beginning or towards the very end..both 2 stages in their friendships/relationships where the stakes are very high & where their vulnerabilities are sticking out the most. In the beginning, Aquas go into alot of situations assuming that the truth must be found (by them) vs. it being naturally told (and this comes from an automatic lack of trust in the beginning). In the beginning, they are more concerned with getting to know the other person & seeing how the other person ticks..and as we all know, sometimes figuring those things out can require a certain amount of tricks up anyone's sleeves. It's just that Aquas are VERY good at doing this AND being successful at doing so.

And towards the end of a friendship/relationship, their vulnerabilities are especially out b/c Aquas hate losing/having to detach from anything they at one point in time, thought would be long-term. There's no doubt that some people in GENERAL play mind games, even if there is no benefit or gain from doing so, but from my experience, there is always a reason. Problem is, most Aquas consider their reasons "good reasons," thus it's 1. Very hard for them to acknowledge what they're doing as an actual mind game & 2. Even if they do acknowledge that they are playing mind games, they'll have a good reason/justification for it. In other words, once an Aqua has made the decision to play mind games, that decision is usually final & ESPECIALLY until they gain/benefit from whatever goal they were trying to reach

Val God I wish I were 30 again.

all too often especially in tricky situations my quite innoccent actions can easily be looked upon as mind games. Quite worring sometimes as some people i know are sensitive to this sort of thing. it gets to the point where i have to explain myself for fear of upsetting somone. dear oh dear it can sure be hard at times being an Aquarian

canfrontations bring out the worse in people....I hate confrontation.....when someone confronts me im as fake as press on nails to get them off my case and once everything is clear and they think everything is fine but its not......I find myself doing the same thing they confronted me about in the first place just because im stubborn like that.

And if i confront people.......its gets ugly.....because I keep my mouth shut for a very long time about something and I tend to endure it to the point where i cant take it anymore and then i confront an onslaught.
