Reminder: Stop Gaslighting Yourself

Ahh I see, so basically it’s what bullies do! Especially manipulating ones! I’ve been victim of that many times and I constantly do it to myself now! It’s so hard to stop though 

I had to look it up recently, too.

It's when someone tries to convince you that you're imagining things when you're not.

Or when someone tells you you're overreacting to something they did, when your reaction is justified.

Or when someone tells you that something is your fault because "you made me do it".

In short, denying reality.

I’m just gonna ask this, despite how stupid and thick I sound. But what is gaslighting? I don’t understand all these names and terms and this is coming from someone who is Gen z 

I always educate people 

one guy said to me it’s good rhat im a musican and autistic and I’d never thought about it before but despite the social deficits those do diaper when I’m playing a bit as it’s self regulation and also I was told during to my dyspraxia I’d never be good at music but my autistic drive saw me through it 

and im proficant at rythem guitar and csn do a bit of bass a bit of key a bit of drums and a tiny bit of lead guitar but no finger picking yet 

also I find my internal meteognome has been there all along snd improves dsy by day 

im even educating my self as I used to believe im just a bit autistic but theres not such thing we just all suffer in diffenet ways and we sometime forget about something till they happen again

my journey taking is ok sometimes but sometimes I struggle but honestly I wouldn’t say I have a mobility need becuase I find way to cope 

I think most people won't know what it is, but public transport staff are almost certainly trained to recognise it.

You know I used to feel that if I wore my autisim sweetness stuff like lanyard people would think I was faking it but I realised two things number one people never even mention it and b people so seem more respectfull when I wear it especially bus drivers 

Thank you DormouseAtRest_25 a very thoughtful post, I am sure many need to see this.

This isn't perfect as posts go - however, if you either open the image in a new tab, or download the image - hopefully, it will easier to see.
