Gaslighting, a cunning crime,
stealing person, of their rights,
to trust their thoughts & feelings,
forming opinions, about their surroundings.
There's awareness, people have learned,
identifying signs, connecting the dots,
confronting abuser, preventing effects,
helping victims, from being exploited.
Yet, there's always another side,
do we really understand the drive,
is it manipulation or genuine criticism,
that contradicts, hurting our pride?
Have we tried, analyze the intent,
getting clarifications, or feedbacks,
where the goal, was to communicate,
sharing perceptions & perspectives?
Discussions...
It carries fact and evidences,
which may cause disagreements,
still, it's foundation, is mutual respect.
While Gaslighting,
attacks our sense of reality
relying on blaming & lying,
making others feel insecure.
So, do differentiate, when you decide,
by observing patterns, gaining insights,
occasional banters, or persistent occurrence,
ending in resolutions, or uncertainties...
