Hypothetically (but it isn’t totally in my case although I speculate some things because I don’t know how exactly this is being done), assume the following:

You are being watched at all times, either through hidden cameras (not sure how those could follow you if you change clothes and stuff), your phone and computer (but that wouldn’t explain some aspects when you are away from those) or just actual people watching, somehow.

You are being followed and/or under surveillance and/or tracked at all times: either through a hidden gps (maybe in unexpected personal objects), compromised internet network, compromised devices, people having access to your accounts (including uber and similar others) knowing where you are going before you even start going, having or sending people to places you are going to (having a big network of people who can be contacted).

You are being heard at all times, even the lowest voice level when you think aloud, talk to yourself and so on.

You are being read at all times, everything you type is gathered by a keylogger or network thingie (I am by far not an expert), all your accounts including email, social media, whatsapp are compromised, and/or there is remote access at all times to all your devices and screens

How would you have a private conversation that is guaranteed to be private?

Two versions: one where you can’t choose the place where the conversation would be had (which is the actual main context) and another one where there could in theory be a second conversation where you plan such an ideal place (if possible and if the person accepts) during the first conversation where you couldn’t choose the place?

Ideas I’ve had that I want an opinion on:

Leaving everything in my pockets outside the room (not sure how far away), using hand-written live communnication (notebook) that is immediately destroyed before leaving the room (but this would be very hard and long and time will be limited). Would that be safe enough could “being watched” imply what I’m writing by hand in a given moment?

I was wondering if there was any way I could generate, create or find a code I can write in, even if by typing that I could write the person in before hand and somehow send it to them either beforehand or to bring in the moment but there are two issues with this:

They would see any research I did for such a code, would know which code it is before I write the message and how to decipher it.

I would also have to explain to the person how to interpret or decipher the code and there is no way for me to do that (unless I do it for them live/in the moment on their device?). I also have no way of being sure those devices or networks would not be compromised (the other person’s) since I could be followed near there. Small third world country, maybe 4 providers total, most people have the same one, they’re not very advanced.

I’ve thought of maybe getting an old typewritting machine but there’s no way I can look for stores, sellers, or anythihng without them knowing which places I’m considering and/or going to and so on.

Is there any way around this situation? I’m desperate and it’s very serious. Thanks in advance to anyone who would answer.

Which other advice in general do you have for this situation outside of that one conversation I want to have? Like how to go places without them knowing and so on. I don’t really have people in my life who can help (as in anyone at all). I can also not involve nor inform any type of authority in any way at all.

Last small question: how would I know some of them, knowing about this post, wouldn’t comment on it to misguide me? xD

And last I edited this post to add this: which other subs do you recommend me posting this to, please? I need answers as varied as possible and it seems this sub is not being run by anyone anymore (I read something like it, not sure).
