A Fish With Its Mouth Closed Will Rarely Get Caught The more you talk, the more they can write down, twist, weaponize and manipulate you with. Give them nothing but a grey rock. Stay flat. Stay “stable.” Don’t bite. Act harmless and maybe even helpful (offer them a drink or food the moment you get some for yourself during a session) No outburst, no deep life stories, hold back your empathy, donnot bond with them on an emotional level, donnot let emotions go all over the place and only use honesty when the benefits outweigts the risks. In systems like that, masking becomes survival. Work on your mask and always remind yourself of what they are: manipulators that use pills to chemically restrain people. Donnot bite in those dirty hooks of psychiatry.
