    Weirdly I feel like I self-gaslight all the time to the point where I’m not sure if certain things are real.

    Some examples…

    Am I really having pain in my foot or am I being a hypochondriac? How can I tell if it’s real or if I’m making it up?

    Was my boss actually in the wrong in saying that to me or am I just a crazy person?

    Are my feelings genuine or am I subconsciously just acting a certain way for attention?

      Self reflection is important! It is good to ASK yourself these questions, and ask others even. It is not good to ruminate on the questions or doubt yourself because of lack of confidence. And if your answer is always that you were wrong… idk maybe seek therapy. Sounds like a trait of a chronic asshole or a chronic doormat.
