Games played by people

Tweet

I can't understand, why people have to be manipulative and play games. One reason, I feel is a desire on their part not to take 'NO' for an answer. If they ask something straight, and it does not suit the other person, or when there is a desire to exploit or to make people dance to their tunes, they know that things cannot be achieved the straight way. In order to get their way, some people resort to funny games. Similarly, they make provocative statements that will irritate the other, and throw a bait to make them argue and fight. Why do many people do not want to 'live and let live'?. I find this very irritating and I think people should be bold enough to take 'nO ' for an answer. Some are thoroughly spoilt by their environment or upbringing where they are the particular darlings of a household and are always used to lording around. How do you handle such people?
