Do you get your way more than you give in?

Do you choose to lose some battles you know you can easily win?

Do you hold others to the same standards you hold yourself or do you let them take the lead in your life?

Reverse psychology is a technique involving the advocacy of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired: the opposite of what is suggested.

I tried it on myself, when I had to get a blood test. I have a needle phobia, so you can only imagine the amount of trauma I felt. And it was weird, because I'd spent about a whole month convincing myself, that the needle would hurt, but once I was in the room, I kept telling myself it WON'T hurt. And kept picturing my pets faces to calm me down. Not sure if that was reverse phsycology, or just telling myself to calm down. I remembered to breathe slowly while having it done.

My favorite RP move is... "You can do whatever you want because you're an adult. But I won't be footing the bill for you to do things your way."

Works like a charm every time... laugh :wink:

I'd say... How many times do I have to tell you that your PDA's are NOT acceptable. blushing you know how jealous some people can get when they see their turf being trespassed by an admirer who lacks subtlety... laugh :wink:

I think reverse psychology can be a bit of a mind game sometimes and it takes too much effort.


I don't try to 'get my way', but I always try for the middle ground.

How other people want to act is up to them...their standards are their responsibility. I don't hold anyone to anything...I just choose if they are someone I want in my life or not, if not I walk away. I try to keep things simple.

Keeping it simple is the best way to go.That way the mind games don't apply.no reason to complicate anything more than it already is.
