I see what you did there.
It’s closely related to the saying I learned as a kid: “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that your friends don’t talk about you.”
Is there any difference between gaslighting and lying other than how long the lie is maintained?
Gaslighting is just a form of lying with the objective of making a person believe a falsehood about their own behavior. Square is a rectangle etc
There are a lot of new terms being used by the not so sane these days...
This is going to make historical discussions of 19th century urban planning difficult.
There may be a reason for it. The whole thing could require the gaslighted party to actually be insane for it to work. Doesn't mean it cannot happen at all.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
*greenlighting
I've used the term after having to study sociopathy for hundreds of hours. Most people don't encounter gaslighting, so they can't get a good grasp of the meaning. You need to see it to grasp it
That's because everyone uses it wrong.
The term is often misused and abused. It can be a useful term in therapy when dealing with people in narcissistic and other personality disordered relationships. But mostly it is used by people who do not want to accept another person's reality.
Sounds like you've been accused of it a lot..
This tweet is an example of gaslighting.
I marvel that decades after the movie popularized the term #gaslighting, so many people are now using it. Why did it trend so quickly after so long, or did people just hit peak neurosis?
Conspiracy theories are just crazy talk, yet half the federal felonies have titles including the word 'Conspiracy'. A quick Web search is enlightening as to why 'gaslighting' is trending. >:-) Also go re-watch 'Close Encounters'. The 'Bigfoot' gaslighting in particular.
