“You are beautiful the way you are. Gifted. Complete. You do not need anyone to tell you your worth. You need not pay attention to your friends. They are technically not your friends if they do not appreciate you. They are just using you to their benefit because you are extremely sensitive and benevolent. You will not be happy unless you get rid of them. You are just confusing yourself around them. A perfect relationship is a myth. It’s all in your head.”
I just convinced someone that he/she is worthless without actually uttering any such words. I am a “Gaslighter”.
I am charismatic, mysterious & hard to read. I get under your skin like a crawling creature, get stuck to your pulses, and control your every emotion, my way. I abuse people to the limit where they question their sanity and the trauma they experience is severe. But you know what, they can’t blame me for they know not what just they went through. And by the time they realize it, they might have no spine to fight them. I resemble a “Bostrichidae” who turns a beautiful piece of art into powder. Where do I reside? In your minds and souls, even when I am no more I continue to live with you, within you.
I trivialize you, brush off your concerns, divert your mind, discredit you for your attainments and make you believe that you are making up everything and all these facades never really happened.
Then how can you identify me? I am omnipresent. I am in your movies, in your books, within your family, among your friends, and within you. Every time you become vulnerable and question yourself, you fuel me up and I rise. I am invincible.
Can you identify me in your popular reads?
🤡 “Grown” by Tiffany A Jackson- I am your Korey to your Enchanted.
🤡”Before I Go To Sleep” by SJ Watson: I am Ben to your Christine.
🤡”A Splendid Ruin” by Megan Chance: Trust me I am more May Kimble than her cousin.
🤡”The Girl on the Train” by Paula Hawkins: I am Tom to your Rachael.
🤡”Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn: I am Amy to everyone who reads me.
#qotd : Ahh! Do you really think you can fight me? Show me how!
