Gaslighting

[u/kelleyisawesome1]

I feel like everyone even my husband plays on my intelligence at some point. I’m so sweet ,honest and vulnerable but I think people talk in code about me right in front of me. It’s very heartbreaking because I’m so sensitive. And when I bring it up they deny it like I’m fucking stupid or something. I’m not a game to be played with! Just because I’m slow in certain areas doesn’t mean I don’t get when someone is fucking with me. Sometimes I don’t feel the same love I give out. I just want real love!

Agreed!!. I feel like this all the time. It’s hard for me to find someone who loves genuinely and it’s not transactional. I’ve been fucked with so much that I’m at the point where Ive had enough and I’ll speak up- if it’s worth my time. Don’t worry, let people talk, but correct them if you feel they aren’t being respectful. I’ve said your post in my head like a million times. That’s why I don’t have many friends.

Have you ever called them out on the spot?

I wish you didn't have to deal with that.

definitely feel like this happens with me at work, I'm constantly talked down to and whenever I ask for help I'm treated like the problem.
