I appreciate the opportunity to hear your thoughts. Especially interesting to me were the ones on triggering, gaslighting (the need for such a mysterious term eludes me), belonging, and manipulation.
Thank you, dear Denny! I so appreciate your comment! Yes, "gaslighting" is such a weird word. I mention that it comes from that movie with that name where the husband tells her the gas lamps are NOT flickering on and off. So, hence, the name for making someone else feel like they are crazy BY TELLING THE TRUTH! I wish their was another word for it. I'm sure their is if we look in the dictionary. Surely, they've had a word for this very thing for millennia!! Hahaha! Anyway, soooo glad to hear from you! How in the world did you find me on here anyway?
I haven't seen the gaslighting movie, maybe I should find it. I think the pop psychology write-ups that try to explain it use it to cover too many evils. There's gaslighting in one-on-one relationships and gaslighting in politics. Constant beratement with the intent to undermine confidence and gain control seems to be a consistant theme. A single word for that would be useful, maybe gaslighting is proving to be it. I should watch the movie.
I have been in touch with you before since being moved by your recordings of your singing and later friending with you on Facebook when you lived in New Mexico. I look at Substack writers now and again.

I have affinity for this number. When I see a digital clock, for example, it's there more often than any other number.
I wonder what that means. The explanation seems pretty right on for me, but I'm always the skeptic.
