Just an FYI, that usage of “spastic” is considered an ableist slur. You can use “erratic” in its place.

The problem with me trying to gaslight my brain is that I know the guy doing the gaslighting and he’s an asshole who is not to be trusted.

Smart enough to come up with some neat tricks.
Also smart enough to see through those tricks.
