Hey, wow, you still used the term incorrectly the first time. And continue to do so even now.

Did I say it's not possible to do something like that? No. No, I didn't. I did not say that anything is prevented by anything.

I'm saying you used a word incorrectly. What you just said you're trying to talk about? That word doesn't mean what you just said.

Can you please not add to flamewars here, even when another comment is wrong or has broken the rules? We're trying to avoid this level of discourse and do a bit better.

Being crazy subjectively seems like being gaslighted by everyone else. I think "gaslighting yourself" amounts to a figure of speech that means the same thing. While you may not think it's a technically correct usage, there are other similar expressions in English. I would say it's an example of an oxymoron.

Delusional. Being delusional.

A person is simply delusional, if they are deceiving themselves.

May as well start gangstalking myself. Hold on, let me stand outside my window with all my other selves. brb

There are lots of ways to express similar concepts in English, but in this case, I think "gaslighting yourself" expresses an incremental, progressive, or recursive concept whereas "simply delusional" is more static.

Same.
