You know, when someone tries to manipulate you without you knowing you are being manipulated. The trouble is most people who try to play such games are just not very good at it and it becomes obvious what's going on. I suppose the really good game players have manipulated me without my ever knowing it. But most often the games they play are so obvious that it's just an insult to my intelligence. This time of the year many local politicians are trying to play head games with potential voters.
Politicians exhibit many head game techniques.
Some will promise you anything to make you think you should vote for them. Suddenly some of them are your best friend. They are only looking out for what is best for you. Many politicians say they are trying to protect the public from other politicians that are not honest. As a matter of fact that is now totally out of the question.
