Oh, I see. Excuse me while I recalibrate my filters.
I was instead trying to point to the inpenetrability of this stuff. Just because I think someone's playing some kind of game, doesn't mean I understand anything important about it.
That makes sense.
In what circumstances do you decide that someone's playing some kind of game, as opposed to just muddling through life, or whatever? Does interpreting their behavior as a game help you, and if so how?
I do make interpretations when someone's behavior directly affects me, especially if I find their behavior uncomfortable, but otherwise I try pretty hard not to interpret people's behavior (except to acknowledge that everyone wants to be happy and to avoid suffering). I find I am more content that way.
