Gaslighting

And what is even worse, is the unintended kind of gaslighting. The one that’s camouflaged in light humour.The one that was meant to pass off as a joke.The one that takes cover under insults in jest.The one that is ignored because neither did the sender intend it, nor did the receiver perceive it.The one that creeps in slowly, sowing the seeds of self doubt and under confidence. Because humour like lies, if repeated long enough can seem like the truth.
