Would I have better luck invoking the archangel Michael?
I swear this is the truth and nothin but the truth so help my eternal soul
Have you played with ouija boards, do you have occultic objects in your house, are you wearing amulets, are you meditating, etc..?
I have and do all those thing and have never once had an encounter with a "demonic spirit", what does that mean? Am I just really lucky... or really unlucky?

You're not scared of them. They have no interest in you.

No... you're not.
The mind is a very powerful thing.

^^^This. You are caught in the midst of your own strange belief system. To you, it's real, but it also is delusional. The really good news is that you can post your delusions here and be assured there are others who will do the typical co-dependent thing and re-enforce your delusions, thus assuring their grip ever tighter on your psyche.
What you REALLY should do is seek psychiatric help, but something tells me (a demon, perhaps) that's not in your future because without your demons, you're just like everyone else with nothing special about you that makes you just a little bit different.
Good luck.

Has it physically injured you in any way other than pain? If all it can do is cause pain and play head games, you'll be fine, although the road ahead is not easy.
Once it realizes that you refuse to succumb to its torments, it will stop tormenting you, at least this has been my experience. I've had fear strike me so hard that all I wanted to do was run away. Whatever it is telling you, just ignore it, it is a liar. Beings with real power do not threaten or play mind games, they smile politely and do as they may.
Before I got mine to leave me alone, I'd mock them, pretending that their activities were effecting me and then I'd laugh in their face. Show it that you are not a simple animal that can be curtailed by fear and pain, and it will leave you alone. Actually, if you can earn the respect of the other side, strange things can unfold for you.
This might be the most horrific thing anyone has ever said to you, but that which has suffered and endured rises stronger. Take this as a challenge, as a hideous blessing, and try to figure out how to use it to your advantage. Use your enemy's apparent strength and arrogance against them. If it starts undermining your own authority and the games move beyond simple pain and terror, you might want to seek help, but otherwise, you already have the tools you need to win this battle.
Remember. If it had the power to control you, it wouldn't need to play mind games. You are in control. Do not submit, do not surrender. I honestly believe turning to God is a trap, because if you don't surrender to the demons, you'll end up surrendering to God. Your own authority is obviously something these creatures value or they wouldn't work so hard in such a multifaceted way to undermine you at every stage of your journey. Figure out who you want to be in that moment. How would the ideal you respond to a situation of torture? Be that person. If you demonstrate that you refuse to be undermined, I believe you take a big step on the journey of self-discovery and personal evolution.
Are you asking if demons play with themselves?

In the grand scheme of Kant’s thought, the phenomenal and noumenal distinction are the features that represent the division of reality into the sensible and intelligible realms. The phenomenal element is concerned with the realm of experience of an empirical world, which synthesizes representations in the temporal, spatial, and conceptual world encapsulating the domain of appropriate sensuous knowledge[1]; the noumena, or the thing in itself (Ding an sich), while serving as the intelligible ground of the empirical realm, cannot be known but only thought.[2]
Kant gives us a straightforward definition of phenomena and noumena.[3] He says,
Appearances, to the extent that as objects they are thought in accordance with the unity of the categories, are called phenomena. If however, I suppose there to be things that are merely objects of the understanding and that, nevertheless, can be given to an intuition, although not to sensible intuition (as coram intuiti intellectuali), then such things would be called noumena (intelligibilia).[4]
I couldn't breathe, I violently shook myself, pure terror engulfed me and nothing saved. IT appeared across the room having no form or voice just black mass but it's mere presence instantly trapped me in a struggle for my life it felt like.
