I first started using the term "Psychological Damage" when I became the best sniper in the game Soldier of Fortune 2. For starters, there is a huge difference between "Psychological Damage" and the fine art of "s***talking". Don't get me wrong, I actually used to be kind of a jacka** myself when I was pro at SOF2, but I have learned. Anyways, "Psychological Damage" as defined above, is a state of low confidence, close to that of an emo.
Example: I steal your flag 5 times (you'd be surprised, this is a fairly low number :D) using the Respawn Inversion. YOU ARE ALREADY PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGED AND YOU DONT KNOW IT!!!
At the right you can see a fine sample of psychological damage. Every flag capture is 10 points, and every kill is 1 point for those of you non-SOF2'ers. 100+ points used to be unheard of until I started all this flag capping :). As you can see here the other team was so psychologically damaged they left the server before I could even get a screenshot.
Your probably asking, but how?! How did I get psychologically damaged?! Is there a cure? Am I going to die? Actually there is no cure, and you are going to die, but, with your death, I will go on blogging, because no one cares about the victims of someone who is psychologically damaged.
By taking your flag, and capping or not capping it 5 times, you and your team are now paranoid that I am hiding somewhere. When you respawn, you will check behind you, you will check the tree's, you will check behind boxes, etc... The beauty of it is, you will look for me, but you will not find me. Why you ask? Check below :)
Key Steps for Successful Respearn Invearsion and hefty Psychological Damage:
1. Do not use the Respearn Invearsion more than 3 times in a row - By creating a mix of flag capping technique's they will search for you and not find you, forget about it, and then next time, they wont check, and you will get their flag.
2. Be as gay as possible - Intentionally letting yourself be seen in the respawn a couple of times, and dying in vain, is not really dying in vain. Run around in their respawn, cause chaos, make them waste their time. You immediately cause a state of "wtf hes in our spawn, someone check next time please"
3. If your in the lead by a few flags, keep going - Common sense. What lowers your confidence more? Losing by 3 flag caps? Or losing by 64? (this is not an exaggeration lol, yes, our clan has won by 64 flag caps, ON ONE SIDE, and 128 flag caps total)
"Psychological Damage" is obviously not only restricted to the "Respearn Invearsion". Sniping is a great way to cause some brain damage. I mean, when you try to run across the map, and all of a sudden your head pops off, your like wtf? Then you do it again, I hit you but dont kill you. Eventually, you stop going that route. How is this Psychological Damage you ask? I solely controlled your actions. Yes its scary, and so is my sniping capabilities in SOF2.

Haha, you must be pretty smart to think of such things just for a video game. :P But I guess I shouldn't say that out loud.
Love you! <3
