What do you think games can teach us about a person's character?

C2Games & playingReflect

A natural way to answer

I think games reveal a lot. How someone handles losing, whether they play fairly, how they treat weaker players, all of that says more about their character than a normal conversation ever would.

Key phrases to use

  • spit the dummy — to react to a setback with a childish, sulky tantrum“He spat the dummy the moment he started losing.”
  • strip away — to remove an outer layer to reveal what's underneath“Pressure strips away people's pretences.”
