This quote by Alex Myles taps into something deeply real for many people — the way truth-tellers, especially those with strong intuition and emotional intelligence, can be dismissed, marginalized, or labeled as “crazy” when they challenge deceptive narratives or confront uncomfortable truths. It’s a defense mechanism—when someone gets too close to revealing something inconvenient, it’s often easier to discredit them than to face accountability.

It’s a reminder to trust your gut, even when others try to gaslight it out of you.
