Feeling somewhat gaslit
I've made my decision a while ago about leaving Islam, and I'm 100% confident that I did it for the right reasons. Whenever my parents start telling me, "the philosophers you read just say things.. it's easy to be misinformed by them.. your judgements are probably wrong..." etc., it legit feels like gaslighting and trying to make me out to be someone who doesn't think rationally. I have a good relationship with my parents and they're not pushy or anything, and they aren't intending to gaslight at all, but that's what it feels like sometimes. I always question my logical faculties whenever they go saying shit like "oh, you read one article on philosophy and that was enough to mess with your faith.. you listened to one guy on YouTube.." etc etc.
I fucking hate it.
