trauma, gaslighting
@hollie @EMFaulds I seem to have somehow grown up with unusually high resistance to gaslighting. I didn't believe it was possible for me to "be wrong" about my own experience, even if I didn't know why it apparently differed from others.
I wasn't able to articulate that, and it was frustrating to anyone having to deal with me, but I think it protected me from the worst harms of not having my neurodivergence accommodated or even understood.
