Should I worry about his gaslighting or is it relatively harmless?

This “man” sounds like a toxic sociopath, don’t ever let your guard down around him. People like that are manipulative predators and will take your kindness for weakness. They will use you for their own personal gain and will throw you away like yesterday’s garbage once you have nothing left to offer them. Their behavioral patterns usually only get worse over time. Maybe you should consider dumping his sorry ass before you get in too deep, you don’t need people like that in your life, you deserve better.

Wow really? That seems extreme. I've gotten replies on this forum a few times from posters who are "new" or becomes quickly disabled like this poster that seems aimed to deepen or trigger my fears and suspicions. I hope anyone reading this reply by Randomperson27 takes it with a grain of salt.
If there are people out there wanting to exploit and deepen vulnerabilities in people with ptsd, I am appalled. I hope the moderators are on it.
