Post 1: “You’re Just Guessing” — A Deflection, Not a Dialogue
💬 “You’re just guessing.”
😏 [with a smirk, a laugh, or a dismissive tone]
🧩 Every time you try to understand, they make you feel like you’re making things up.
This isn’t harmless teasing. It’s a subtle but powerful form of emotional manipulation. And it’s more common than you think.
🚩 What’s Really Happening?
✅ You’re asking a valid question.
❌ They don’t want to answer.
⚠️ So they flip it — making you question yourself instead.
Over time, this creates:
- Self-doubt
- Emotional paralysis
- A nervous system stuck in hypervigilance
🧠 Psychological Tactic at Play: Deflection + Gaslighting
People who say this often:
- Avoid responsibility
- Feel threatened by being emotionally seen
- Want to keep you in the dark (because clarity gives you power)
This tactic isn’t about truth — it’s about control.
❤️🩹 For Survivors: You Deserve Emotional Clarity
You are not “too much.”
You are not “just guessing.”
You are trying to feel safe in a space where you were made to feel unsure.
Trust the part of you that noticed.
💡 Affirmation:
“My questions are valid.
My instincts are wise.
I no longer accept dismissal in place of truth.”
