Individuals adopt different roles in games from "summary" of Games People Play by Eric Berne, MD

In the game of life, individuals often find themselves taking on different roles. These roles can vary depending on the situation and the people involved. Sometimes a person may play the role of a parent, guiding and nurturing others. Other times, they may take on the role of a child, seeking attention and approval from those around them. These roles are not static and can change based on the dynamics at play. For example, a person who is typically the caregiver in a relationship may switch to the role of the victim when they feel overwhelmed or neglected. Similarly, a person who is usually the rebel may adopt the role of the conformist in certain situations to avoid conflict or gain acceptance. These roles are often driven by deep-seated psychological patterns and beliefs. People may unconsciously fall into these roles as a way to cope with their emotions or protect themselves from harm. By understanding these roles and the motivations behind them, individuals can gain insight into their own behavior and relationships. It is important to recognize that these roles are not fixed or predetermined. Individuals have the power to change the script and break free from destructive patterns. By becoming aware of the roles they play and the impact they have on their lives, people can take steps to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
  1. Individuals have the agency to choose which roles they want to embody. By being mindful of their actions and motivations, people can navigate the complexities of human interaction with greater awareness and authenticity. Ultimately, understanding the roles we play in games can lead to more meaningful connections and a deeper sense of self-awareness.
