Overused Words I hate Part 2

Gaslighting.
Getting sick of this one; apparently we are all gaslighting each other these days.

It's not even a good metaphor since it really means nothing to anyone anymore. Other metaphors like "up the creek without a paddle" gives some kind of idea what it means.

The words I am tiring of very quickly are:

"Literally" (when used the wrong way)
"Actually" (when it's every other word in the same sentence)
"Problematic" (🙄)

They're just all over-used, it's ridiculous.

@DearAmbellina2113 99% of the time people use literally, it is actually metaphorically lol

@DearAmbellina2113 People who misuse the word literally make me want to literally punch them in the face.
