Electric toothbrush or manual?

Today I was at the dentist and my dentist was talking about electric toothbrushes and recommended them. I’ve always used a manual toothbrush, and I always buy the softest bristles toothbrush I can get as I find most ‘normal’ toothbrushes feel too rough and hard on my gums.

Anyway, I got home and was considering getting an electric toothbrush - but I notice there are some things online saying they can damage your gums and cause gum recession. I’m so anxious about health and dentistry and this has put me off. Does anyone on here use an electric toothbrush and what’s your opinion on them? Are they good? Have you had any bad effects from using them? And do they feel hard or soft, or just weird when you’re using them?
