I had to think a lot about this. I try to become more critical of mass media. I am a little bit too naive when it comes to official narratives. At the same time I had psychosis. And many people with that condition recognize patterns in random data. And end up in conspiracy rabbit holes. I think I also have the bias to trust too much people wirh high reputation.

In private I experienced a lot of abuse and manipulation. I think my personality and conditions are somewhat attractive to borderline women. (emotional openness)
And I had amazing times with these women. But often the friendship/ relationship (one case) didn't last long. I think it is pretty easy to gaslit people with psychosis. And the chemistry master student abused this. Even my therapist abused this. My therapist has no borderline she is just an awful person. The abuse by my therapist was rather an exploitation of her position in contrast to my position as patient. She also used my diagnoses against me to undermine my credibility. I think though I was superior to her in the mind games she played. She is very stupid anyway. And I predicted most of her steps. And I was prepared for it.
She might win the war though. I am not sure whether I have the stamina to fight a lawsuit against her. It is more like reporting her. And I seriously consider to do that. But some patient counsellors recommended me to get a lawyer. And I am not sure whether I want that. I am tired. I feel very unstable. I gave me a break of this argument. But my energy is so low.

Some months ago I thought a lot about psy ops. The chemistry master student tried to gaslit and manipulate me. Ans she was pretty fucking good in it. Another time, there was this therapist I met on a dating app who more or less tried to scam me. It was shady. We texted only one day but she wanted me to join a seminar of her for like 80 bucks. Which was utterly insane. She sounded unprofessional and reminded me of my own therapist.

I think I am not good at manipulation. I think I am good at introspection. And you can lie easily about your inner feelings if you have so many impressions of your inner life all at once. I think I am too honest to be a good liar though.

But getting manipulated so often in my life taught me countermeasures to act in psycholigical warfare. I think it is clear with my conditions I am most of the time in the weaker position. I think this is why it is important to be prepared for abuse. And to notice red flags. Most of the time quitting the connection is the most safe thing to do. Not to spend too much time with the abuser. Otherwise it takes too much energy. I consider to go to my self-help group again. And I will meet the chemistry master student again. I am not sure whether that's smart in my unstable position. Maybe it could distract me though from my other issues. It could piss her off pretty much.

One method I use in psychological warfare is strategic ambiguity. The opponent should not know your thoughts. It is legitimate to deceive him. Let him assume wrong things about you. He will make wrong predictions and then he can hit him in his weak spot.

What are your tips for psychological warfare? Have ever been in one? What was it like?

A large portion of my childhood felt like psychological warfare- growing up with a (suspected) narcissist. As for how I felt- terrified. Isolated. Confused. I had no idea why someone would outright lie about stuff. Upset when friends and famaily took their side. Fearful that all would take their side.

To get over it- get away. I'm not sure there's all that much you can effectively do to fight it. Take comfort in the people who still support you. Learn about things like narcissism. Not that it can ever be an official diagnosis but, it helped me to feel my experience was valid and fairly typical of narcissistic abuse.

Bigtime for me as well. Certain people seemed to sniff me out as someone they could use for their ulterior motives. Usually they were part of a culture that does that and considers it normal but sometimes there were also narcissists doing what they do. I am a bit more aware now but I still steer clear of them and try to be alert to any flags with anyone new I ever interact with.
