👉 An identity weapon is a form of psychological manipulation that targets an individual's sense of self, exploiting their vulnerabilities and insecurities to influence their thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. It often involves spreading false or misleading information about a person's character, actions, or beliefs, aiming to damage their reputation, erode their confidence, and ultimately control their actions or choices. This tactic can be particularly insidious as it attacks the core of a person's identity, making them doubt their own judgment and autonomy.
