I have learned over the years that when you go around looking for subtle discrimination or microagressions against you, you basically activate two dangerous parts of your “brain” which are fear/threat detection and pattern recognition. Its much better to have thick skin and count only real overt discrimination, or you can get bitter and paranoid too easily.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoSure, but disregarding behaviours and telling someone that they’re imagining an issue is gaslighting..
- porknubbins 4y agoI’m sorry if I came across as dismissing your situation. Covert discrimination exists as a real problem, but I have seen people go down a dark path when they try to look for it too much.
- ChildOfChaos 4y agoBut you also can't just dismiss things as gaslighting and use that as an excuse to claim something that isn't there, is, that is as bad as calling everything you disagree with fake news.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoSo to rephrase, your comment suggests that you can dismiss claims of gaslighting as ‘seeing things that aren’t there’. I don’t even know how to respond to that.
