    This is like the misuse of the empathy. People confuse our think it is the same thing as sympathy. Not everyone can be empathic to every situation. You can only be empathetic if you have gone through a similar situation. You can be sympathic to the situation.

    This a pet peeve of mine that people use gaslighting without knowing the derivation. They throw the word around for everything little thing. Even watching the movie is terrifying. BTW- Angela Lansbury was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance.

    So you’re gaslighting them about the definition of gaslighting, classic.

    another word misused is "violence/violent" quit calling words you don't like "violent/violence".

    "Irony." It is not merely self-awareness mixed with snark. You don't wear a shirt "ironically" unless you were deliberately trying not to wear it but circumstances you set in motion yourself forced you to do it. Rain on your wedding day isn't ironic. It's just sad. Choosing to have your wedding in the middle of the desert in order to avoid the possibility of rain only to have a once-in-a-lifetime storm come through would be ironic. You were specifically and purposefully trying to avoid the rain and it came anyway.

    At the end you got gaslit about groomers, they definitely are that by the definition.

    C.S. Lewis lamented the over use of the word Christian. To some it now just means "A good person" instead of specifically someone who live the teachings of Jesus. He talks about rhe meaning of the word gentleman. It used to specifically means "a man who owns land and doesn't work with his hands". Now it just means any man to whom you want to show respect.

    See also: OCD, as in, "I like my house clean I'm so OCD"; Bipolar, as in, "sometimes I'm sad and sometimes I'm happy in a way that doesn't feel like it significantly impacts my life, I'm so bipolar amirite guys?"; and Schizophrenic, as in, "I'm probably just neurodivergent and, as a direct result of the differences in the way I experience the world, I am likely seen as unstable, crazy, so random, eccentric, or just kinda quirky in a way that's difficult for most neurological people to follow... I know I'm just like so schizo you know?" Footnotes: See also: 'neurodivergent' and 'neurotypical'
