It's sad to hear of the circumstances you faced growing up, but look at where you are and how much you have grown as a person. I only really came across the term gaslighting in recent years when I encountered it and could not comprehend what occurred, and someone explained that to me.Hello @drrune,
Your take on this is on point. People who consider themselves good people, do some things that can cause others pain, maybe without intention, and just a reaction of the subconscious of past wounds they are not aware that they are holding onto.
My eyes opened, and I'm now good at spotting manipulative, resentful, and other undesirable attitudes of people... who as you've mentioned, regard themselves as being good, honest, people.
While traces of anger and anxiety still remained until late at night, I successfully reached the point of gratitude and clarity that I always seek when I do this, and this fresh perspective opens all the possibilities that I've been manifesting.
This is so good of you!🙏
Hey, @millycf1976! Thank you so much for your contribution as always. Gaslighting is such a tricky behavior by definition, because it precisely seeks to blur definitions and promote diffuse responsibility, which makes it really hard to notice. It's even harder when the ones causing this disruption are people we deeply care about. Noticing these things is definitely a form of superpower, I think, hahahaha.
Once again, thank you! And great blessings to you!
🙏😊
