Indeed. In fact, since childhood, although I couldn't name it, I had felt gaslit from the start of my entire early education, especially in the history of humanmankind. Math and language were the only subjects that felt partially aligned with truth. Reflecting on that now, it's no wonder I had always lacked confidence in myself!

Wow Norie, I can totally relate to this too! And yes, I can remember times when younger, feeling the sensations around what's referred to now as gaslighting - without having the language around naming it or even describing it. So much of what the world is told to us during formative years, yet there's an inner knowing when things don't feel aligned.
