I don’t know what everyone is going on about, CBT as presented by David Burns was a life changer for me. I wonder if, sometimes, in inability to face the unchangeable reality outside of us or understand the importance of perspective is confused with gaslighting.

I am genuinely puzzled trying to figure out how one is gaslit by reality, or yourself. Is it possible that you’re looking for an answer or solution that isn’t there and can’t be there because that negative conclusion ruining everything is actually so important to you it begs intransigence?

Like…
Do you want to do well for yourself?
Or do you want to just be right, feel awful, and be pitied in the hopes someone will come along and fix all your problems for you?
Anything else is gaslighting?
Get a grip. This isn’t working for you. Think about that.
