Being manipulated, is that an offense or harmful? Being betrayed and robbed of confidence, is that an offense? If somebody punches me in the face, so that is a harm? I either very much disagree, or I am confused. I have been physically attacked, and that was very easy to deal with for me, because all was clear, the evidence, question of guilt, etc.

I have been privately and verbally attacked in certain ways, and that was far more harmful than any physical attack I have experienced.

Again, I might be confused. But the fact that I am confused is already a sign of some harm done right to my cognitive center - by manipulation of truth.

Any thoughts?
