Gaslighting is when they repeatedly cause you to feel crazy & confused. They play the victim by blaming YOU when you address their toxic behaviour. They avoid taking responsibility by lying, denying, & making you question your feelings, sanity, & facts. It's manipulation & abuse.
and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, nobody waits for you at night, when you can do whatever you want; but what do you call it; freedom or loneliness?
– Charles Bukowski

Newt with all due respect, I am gonna completely ignore everything you just said
-Thomas before running into the maze
“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.”
— Daniell Koepke
