Attackers using how you think against you

[Dark Knight]

I can relate to all these, and I'm sure I've been attacked each way...I recognize many of the tactics here.

I'm going to bring up the sticky issue again....

Not sure if I have ever been attacked so Im not really sure

Nice list. I have been posting examples throughout different posts. I like Dark can relate to all of these. I think there are a few more that aren't listed. Aslo it's a list of the attacker's abilities, what tactics they use not just the thinking on part of the victim. For example my attacker likes to use the aggression on me while I respond with the logical thinking.
It's tricks used on the mind. Call it reversed psychology.

I know there are more. Why don't you help me list them and the multiple ways of using them so that we can come up with as complete of a list as possible. Most of the people will not need to know about the reverse psychology though as that is usually used on experienced people (in mind games both psychic and non-psychic.)

I think in all 6 of those ways, depending on which I think will work best. It is logical to be illogical if being illogical gets better results. I can give the appearance of being passive when I'm thinking agressively, if that will influence things the way I want, or vice versa.

I am more individual thinker than group, but I do use group thinking within its own context, not as something I should copy. I use it to understand why other people do things, and use that to manipulate them.

I suggest 2 more categories:

Individual Thinker - Is rarely influenced by what other people think because they are different and their knowledge does not fit as well as personal experience. Sometimes thinks everybody else is stupid.

Group Thinker (Sheep) - Is usually influenced by what other people think, because groups make less mistakes than individuals. Sacrifices many of their own ideas to copy others.

Yes this makes a lot of sense. I think it should be called black sheep white sheep though, as I believe more people are familiar with that. That or the Loner and the Groupie. This also brings to mind the introverted/extroverted people. Thank you for your thoughts beavis. []

I have noticed on some psychic, astral, mental attacks that do not require psychic abilities, and other attacks of this nature that an attacker will be very good at using the way that person thinks against them. I have a few ways here.

EDIT: I WILL PUT IN MORE AS PEOPLE LIST THEM ON THIS FIRST POST.

1) Agressive Thinkers-People who act aggresively think that way as well. By throwing a sort of "small psionic stone" at the person an attacker can trigger aggresive thought and action. In the same way a martial artist loses some of his defense when he attacks so does the aggresive thinker, leaving an opening for psychics and psychic vampires to weave around the attack and into an attack of thier own.

2) Passive Thinkers- People who are laid back and usually calm. When psychicly attacked someone who is a passive thinker might try to dismiss it altogether, leaving the attacker unchallenged. Attacks keep going unchallenged until the attacker gets the "feel" of his victim and can thus attack stronger, harder, and better.

3) Logical Thinkers- People who are generally materialistic (though not always,) and like to know exactly what, why, and how things are going on. Since Psionics and the psychics are not accepted by the scientific community in general they tend to not accept it altogether, and much like the passive thinker ignores it. When an attack occurs that they cannot explain they become mortified with fear, leaving them wide open.

4) Visual Thinkers- Visual thinkers like to have pictures in thier head of what is going on. Since they cannot see what is going on but can feel it they become mortified with fear because it is difficult to understand what is going on.

5) Kenetic Thinkers- People who think best by doing something once. Once these people are attacked they generally want to do something about it. An experienced psychic will use this to lead these kinds of people to doing what they want.

6) Audio Thinkers- People who think aloud inside thier head. A psychic can put voices inside these people's heads to unnerve these kinds of thinkers or manipulate them.

7) Introverted/Extroverted People-
[8D]Extroverted-People who are outgoing. If a psychic can scare someone like this into believing s/he is no longer liked this kind of person will break down, though it might not be easy to do since this is constantly tested. An extrovert will most likely think react in an aggressive, visual, or kenetic way when attacked. Extroverts are more likely to act carelessly than Introverts. These people are more likely to be white sheep than introverts.
[:I]Introverted-People who are "bottled up". Shy people are introverted. These people do not like large crowds, and are more affacted by how the friends they have around them think about them than an extrovert. A psychic causing suspicion in an extrovert will cause that person to be more introverted and thus more alone. These people are more likely to be black sheep than extroverts.

Black Sheep/White Sheep-People who like crowds are White Sheep. People who do not are Black Sheep. White sheep can, but not always will, try to sacrifice something they believe for the support of the crowd. The black sheep is alone, and sometimes likes it that way. Black sheep might like thier individuality more.

9)Humble/Big-headed People who are humble might find the experience of a psychic attack more frightening that someone who is not, while the big headed people might charge in without thinking.


Well, there are more. I think if we put our heads together we can get a large list (never complete, of course. You can never totally put somone as "he is this type". I don't care what the psychiatry books say.) And also ways to help these kinds of situations.

Also, if there is anything I missed in any of these please feel free to add a comment about them.
