You Are Not Crazy…
My friend recently shared an article with me called, “A message to women from a man: You are not crazy” and it was one of the most interesting things I have ever read. The author, Yashar (a man) talks about a term called “gaslighting.”
Gaslighting is a term, often used by mental health professionals (I am not one), to describe manipulative behavior used to confuse people into thinking their reactions are so far off base that they’re crazy.
In his article, Yashar urges women to stop thinking that we are crazy, emotional beings. Instead, he asks us to fight for what we truly feel and to not sugarcoat anything. As a woman, this article really changed my point of view on many situations. It made me realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which is weird because I already knew that. It made me realize how “gaslighting” has influenced me and how I’m going to do something about it. So please take the time to read this article, you will not regret it.
