RELATIONSHIPS
In games there is always WINNERS and always LOSERS
Games are played with OPPONENTS but relationships are played with PARTNERS
MIND GAMES - Actions or statements intended to undermine or mislead someone else, often to gain advantage for oneself
1. SENDER
2. RECEIVER
The INTERPRETATION we choose, of the behavior we PERCEIVE,
will determine the DISTANCE we have between us.
A negative interpretation WIDENS the gap
A positive interpretation CLOSES the gap
