You’re trying to convince me there’s no such thing as gaslighting, that is all in my head? I think there’s a word for that

I know what it is supposed to mean, but it's just another way of playing the victim card. Oh, you are oppressing me, oh you are triggering me, oh you are gaslighting me. Bullshit. You are responsible for your own thoughts.

Gaslighting comes from the movie “Gaslight” in which an abusive flickers the lights, walks around in the attic, and does other weird things and tells his wife it’s all in her head and she’s mentally unstable. It is a real, regularly used abuse tactic. Abuse causes PTSD. Triggers.

That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the origin. It's unfortunate that the term is being thrown around so lightly. Regardless though, we are all responsible for our own perceptions and analysis of reality. Every person is responsible for their own actions and thoughts.

I have no idea what that means.

It means you're moving the goalposts to continue insisting that you're right. You: Gaslighting isn't a thing. Still you: Okay, maybe it's a thing, but it's just an excuse to be a victim.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. I wasn't aware of the movie. The term is being used inappropriately though. Which is diminishing its meaning.

I wonder if it's being used more b/c people are recognizing when it happens? Someone's gaslighting you when they try to manipulate your perception of what you see/feel/know; over time it can cause ppl to doubt themselves. It's traumatic & the effects can last a long time.
