I don’t ever deliberately push someone’s buttons in a wind up way. I will sometimes ask a question that may give them cause for consideration, if that may be beneficial for them (in my opinion) |

Fuck no, to my mind pushing someone's buttons you're not sure of means you're a twat who that person should avoid anyway.
You either work each other out like decent people or you walk away if you're not sure. I've had too much crap from game playing narcissists in my life to contemplate hanging around no matter what the outcome could be and I'd rather spend my time with people who aren't cunts  |

"For me pushing buttons means you know what winds them up, so must know them enough to do it. So in regards to your OP it would be a no "
Very true
I mean more of a generic button way, not game playing more of closed sentences, thought provoking topics etc, trying to open a closed book for instance.
You know when your gut tells you to walk away but your brain isn't quite ready to give in |

^ This description... yes.
Firing people up gets them to open up, discuss, possibly see things differently.

So more a probing tactic wanting to know more. Then yes in some instances I will do this to try to understand them or a previous answer better or get them to say something more open.
As for the last part, I’d say listen to your gut no matter how frustrating it could be, knowing when to walk away is best than purposely pushing buttons  |

This is a area I need to grow in, on when to walk away and give up on someone xxx |

Not to be mean if that's the sort of thing you mean. My ex used to intentionally push my buttons, as did my brother. I don't behave like that. I want a world where everybody gets on. I have never enjoyed annoying or upsetting anybody. Luke |

I find I often deliberately argue with people when I want to know more about something. Because then you have to check what they're saying and you educate yourself. Unlike just reading up on something, if you're talking to passionate people about a certain topic. They can throw stuff into a conversation that you never thought of. |
