Right. If the advice was "tell yourself it's not happening and you're just being paranoid" I'd think it was gaslighting yourself.

but that's what it says, the text in the picture is literally telling you to tell yourself it's not happening, it's something else.

No, it's telling me that it is happening and it's for my betterment and it will give me strength. Gaslighting myself would be saying it's not happening and there's nothing there, I'm just paranoid. What the picture is suggesting is that I console myself.
