Not so fun fact about my life: My dad has a really bad memory due to some childhood trauma. He’s also incredibly self-confident and forceful when it comes to his opinions/perception of things. Because of this combination of traits, he frequently will say with utter confidence that something did or didn’t happen and react incredulously when you respond that it didn’t/did, telling you that you’re over exaggerating.

My dad is the only person I’ve ever heard of who gaslights people completely by accident

#like. he’s not doing it on purpose #he just legit doesn’t remember most smaller details #and since he’s got a bit of ‘hysterical woman’ misogyny brain poisoning #he often tells me I’m exaggerating how often things happen #when I know for a fact they do happen fairly often #but I’ve got such issues with self-assuredness that I’ll often assume I’m reading something wrong anyway #good times #redlady speaks #(things are fine at the moment I just saw a post about poor memory and gaslighting and wanted to get this off my chest)
