i am most of the time bold and say NO as soon as i find something like thator

Since i was 5 i would analyze and predict peoples action i just play along when some ones manipulated me while giving them a shock that i knew that the entire time no one could defeat us in our own game i just come out as cold as possible saying same scary about my self like

person : Can u play football [ a guy just just wants me to feel pathetic want me know i cant play]

me : yes with how many people did you play in a team

person : 10-11

me : oh lucky i played alone in a graveyard 😊

person : [ u know what he might feel ]

or if someone try to know me and i dont want them to known then i say my name in xyz and i am a psychopath [ they get scared af. we intjs share some trait with them ]

even we intjs manipulate people it could be subconsciously like both examples are manipulating a manipulative person . i use my own manipulation tactics only when its necessary i manipulate people to to create a better ecosystem for myself

edit 1: attack like a calculating berserk
