Psychological warfare

The most terrible thing is that psychological war is equated to the war of physical. In addition, it is this kind of war that can become the start, roughly speaking, of the world apocalypse.

If you go into history, you can trace an interesting trend: armies who were skeptical of the war, had greater self-confidence, while excessive fanaticism of the enemy led to self-deprecation. Thus, Americans often won in the world's brawls, being ideologically prepared. Skeptical spirit helped them to oppress the enemy morally, although they did not do anything, in fact, they simply set a peculiar rhythm of attitude to wars and skirmishes, which the opponent was keenly aware of.

It is worth considering that the psychological squabblecan reach global scales. Propaganda, for example, acts on a person as a mass hypnosis. What good does propaganda bring? It depends on what to propagandize. The fact is that psychological war accompanies everyday life at every step.

Consider several categories of psychological wars:

Psychological war in the family. This war, most often, destroys life, although withit starts with such things. Husband and wife, who are different in character, spend a very long time cuddling together, despite their high feelings and desire to live together. Psychological war begins with the phrases: "Wash the dishes" or "Do not throw socks." These banal phrases create a mini-revolt in the family against the way of life and reluctance to yield. As though it would not be desirable, but it is necessary to someone to concede, differently the joint life will not turn out. Wise husbands silently remove socks, and wise wives wash dishes after the first warning or, even better, at their own will. But there is an opinion that wise people do not point out the mistakes of others, but help them to be unnoticeably corrected.

Psychological war in politics. Politics is a dangerous thing. With weak nerves, it is better not to go there. Political moral war is expressed in the presence of a dispute in which the so-called "troll" wins. Please note which policies are popular and popular? Fanaticism in politics is welcome only if it is ideologically based and belongs to a person who is guided by fanaticism solely for the purpose of popularizing his role for the country.

Psychological war in the team. The accumulation of people with different characters and differentviews on life cause discomfort for all. Someone speaks about this discomfort, and someone closes in himself and turns into a passive employee, who noticeably decreases efficiency and falls in mood. All this can be experienced, but there will always be a person who will try to oppress the general situation. Psychological war in the team ends only when the boss acts as a so-called "educator" and carefully solves the problem with the help of easy casual communication from which you can try to understand the essence of the problem and solve it.

Psychological war with oneself. This is the most difficult and longest war. Man as if torn to pieces, suffering from his own exaggerations and far-fetched fears. There are people who oppress themselves, calling it sober self-criticism. Sometimes even self-criticism goes over all boundaries when a person convinces himself and everyone that he, for example, is a loser, and drops his hands. The war with himself ends, thanks to training and work with a psychologist.

Psychological war is a solved problem. But once again go back to history: the greatest military errors were committed because of an incorrect assessment of the morale of the enemy. This does not mean that you should look to everything and consult your personal psychologist in everything, just remember: a person who is strong in spirit is not affected by any psychological war. Be sure of yourself, and you will not be affected by any psychological obstacles.
