Hey, wow, you still used the term incorrectly the first time. And continue to do so even now.
Did I say it's not possible to do something like that? No. No, I didn't. I did not say that anything is prevented by anything.
I'm saying you used a word incorrectly. What you just said you're trying to talk about? That word doesn't mean what you just said.
- cecja 8y agoSame.
- perl4ever 8y agoBeing crazy subjectively seems like being gaslighted by everyone else. I think "gaslighting yourself" amounts to a figure of speech that means the same thing. While you may not think it's a technically correct usage, there are other similar expressions in English. I would say it's an example of an oxymoron.
- wetKoala 8y agoDelusional. Being delusional. A person is simply delusional, if they are deceiving themselves. May as well start gangstalking myself. Hold on, let me stand outside my window with all my other selves. brb
- perl4ever 8y agoThere are lots of ways to express similar concepts in English, but in this case, I think "gaslighting yourself" expresses an incremental, progressive, or recursive concept whereas "simply delusional" is more static.
