Warning while the subject is all in good fun and games, there are things in it that can be triggering as that is the subject matter.
Over the years, we've heard it in various words. Triggers, Broken Brain, Mindfucks, things like that. Certain things and words that for some reason or another set off a variety of emotional and mental states. I myself have triggers as most others do, but I have also been experimenting, mostly for the sake of humor, various ways to mess with people's heads. As kids, we used to play mind games with each other all the time and the object of them would be who could fuck each other up mentally the most. These could range from anything from certain words, phrases or even making pictures and videos that if done right could trigger a specific response.
Now while I say these things right now, I am gonna warn you right off the bat. This is meant to be fun, if any one of you use these to intentionally hurt someone, I will not be held responsible. It says a lot more about you than me.
One of the best ways to mess with someone's mind is if you walk up to them, be it friend, family or total stranger and say the words "Don't do it." You don't specify what "it" is and when they ask "What?" You simply say it with more desperation and insistence. For some reason saying it repeatedly ends up triggering paranoia because odds are they did do something they don't want anyone to know about and think you're on to them. It could be something mundane like leaving the front door unlocked to something so horrible, that you'd probably have to call the police. Either way, it really stops people in their tracks.
Another way seldom works, based on the psychology of the person. But here's what you do. Wait until you're in a position to have food with a person. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks. Then when they are in the middle of eating it you say "I -insert defilement here- your -insert food here-" Could be poisoning a cupcake or other forms of deifilement. The reason I say this seldom works, is because it's probably not the first time or that person has done that to someone else. Either way they call your bluff or worse play along with it. For example if you told them you poisoned their food, they'd act like you really did and fake dead.
Let me know what other mind screws you can think of.

This sounds wrong but also a good idea when it comes to vengeance on assholes.

Pretty much what I was going for. It's a handy weapon, but don't use it on everyone. I only pick those two because they work on everybody.
