people have been demonizing it for most of the AD years i think but it’s quite pleasant really. are there any proven negative effects?

      No, gaslighting is when someone tries to make you question your sanity. Someone disagreeing with you isn’t called gaslighting, it’s called a disagreement. Obviously I’m going to disagree with you when you make up nonsense about my own actions. And if I had been as obnoxious and incorrect as you are, then I would have accused you of gaslighting when you told me my own actions were different than they really are.

        K. I’m done feeding the troll. Try being more accepting of people and you may find that your imagined persecution happens a lot less. Have a good day.

          i just realized that discussing mindfulness with people suffering from persecutory delusions is literally my day job and i dunno why im reading work stuff on my day off wtf

          but uhh yeah you made the right call here, delusions dont tend to respond well to logical confrontation

            Wow, your job is mental healthcare? And yet your go-to move is accusing strangers who disagree with you of mental illness to win internet points? You must be ruining your patients’ lives. I hope someone gets you barred from practice so you can’t hurt anyone anymore.

              yep im hitler. although i never accused you of mental illness, i dont believe in mental “illness”. i accused you of being delusional. that’s a very human condition, just a symptom not a diagnosis. as far as courtesy goes, you arent my pt and i dont owe you shit - and sometimes people need it gently, sometimes they need it bluntly. you are free to bring this up with the ethics board /j
