You're playing against a narcissistic system.
The pieces are even. The rules are the same for both sides. Nothing here is stacked against you.
What's different is that every move they make will be named. You'll see what they're doing while they're doing it.
Your moves are not named. You are not being analyzed.
If you chase every move, they pull you apart. Hold your shape. Read what's in front of you.
They win by destabilizing you. You win by not becoming unstable.
