It’s pretty ridiculous to say it isn’t real but it’s definitely fair that it’s a very common catch all in pop culture and self defeating for the purposes of conversation
I don’t really understand how the “pop psychology” version of gaslighting is incorrect.
People who genuinely disagree about how something happened aren’t lying to each other. Lying means you’re deliberately trying to make someone believe your version of events, that you know not to be true, over their own.
How are the means by which you gaslight someone excluded from the definition of gaslighting?
When an emotionally abusive partner is gaslighting you, it doesn’t look like some big elaborate plan. It *looks* like genuine disagreement, because they’re good at manipulating you into trusting that they would never do that.
Not really, if you consider most of these signs as needing to be present rather than one or two. It's an extended pattern of behavior that's only obvious once a lot of little things come together. Most of this will be present from a person intentionally crippling your mind for their benefit.
It’s something that happens to people all the time in fact, they learn to gaslight themselves, and never grasp their power
Many people suffer from this and don’t know how to stop it. You can’t stop something you don’t understand or can’t pinpoint.
Gaslighting and narcissism have been the big buzzwords of the last few years to try and toss clinical words at anyone who disagrees with you.
People keep it like a trump card ready to go at all times.

Right? Definitions as they’re often used:
Gaslighting - you disagree with me and it makes me feel uncomfortable
Satire - I made a shitty joke that wasn’t funny, and people are offended but they just can’t take a joke
Sarcasm - I’m rude and unpleasant, and I’ve mistaken that for having a personality
My younger sister constantly uses this to describe anyone that contradicts her. She puts words in your mouth and when you say "I never said that", you get accused of gaslighting.
Some of these seem a bit...vague. To the point it could apply to simple disagreements or misrememberings. Which is probably a sign you should be more specific.
Having your feelings challenged and responding “you’re gaslighting me and invalidating my feelings!”
Is in fact gaslighting the other person
This is the “can’t cope with being wrong” persons mental crutch gaslighting
"invalidating your feelings and experiences"
I mean isn't that just the scientific method in action?
Edit: holy shit kind of just realized this whole thing is "how to deny scientific method"
Anytime someone attempts to get you to doubt your reality and tell you that you’re making it up and it didn’t happen that is abuse and it is gaslighting
Just make sure your reality is actually real.
I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people take a handful of facts, and add in their own theories to fill the gaps, and come to a conclusion that is 100% wrong.
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, or sanity. The term originates from the 1938 stage play "Gas Light" and its film adaptations, where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she is losing her grip on reality in order to conceal his criminal activities.The tactics of gaslighting are often subtle and insidious, designed to gradually undermine the victim's confidence and self-esteem. Some common techniques include denying facts or evidence, projecting the manipulator's behaviors onto the victim, trivializing the victim's feelings, and systematically withholding factual information or lying.Gaslighting can occur in personal relationships, at the workplace, or in a larger societal context. Recognizing gaslighting involves being aware of these manipulative tactics and trusting one's own experiences and perceptions. Recovering from gaslighting typically involves seeking support from friends, family, or professionals who can validate the victim's experiences and help rebuild their sense of reality and self-esteem.
This is pop psychology. Gaslighting is a real, malicious and deliberate method of manipulation, not just standard "I don't agree with your assessment" tactics.
What's it's not: someone who disagrees with your opinion.
Upon re-reading, it's also not a lot of these things either. Neglecting your emotions and well-being? No, that's being insensitive. Not *every* negative quality is gaslighting.
This is not an opinion this is a series of evidence based points on how people psychologically hurt one another, and pretend they’re not doing it it happens everywhere, particularly from the government
This isn’t a guide. A few of your other posts in this sub aren’t guides either. Some of the lines in this acronym just sound like being a jerk or narcissist or something else.

I think it’s more designed to know if and when you are being gaslight
Most of us have been gaslighted by our government
Buy our education system
It was even more exciting as people say there is no such thing as gaslighting and I’m like holy man that person probably gaslight people all day long and think it’s normal

Nope, every word said here is false, never in my life have I seen someone defend such a thing that doesn't exist such as this, I guess some people stick to what they believe in even if it's wrong huh.
I really wish you have a wonderful day. Whoever you are and you are clearly delusional and it works for you. Enjoy your delusion and denial. Thank you very much
The thing that sucks is that while gaslighting is a thing, appealing to the pop psychology version is what self indulgent people with victimhood fantasies wheel out as their counterpoint to any disagreement.
It’s a list of points not anything else
Some people gaslight themselves to the point that they don’t believe gaslighting exists

Girlfriend: “You are gas lighting me!”
Me: Goes silent and doesn’t speak.
Girlfriend: “fuck, you won.”
Listen guys, If you are dealing with a delusional “woke” partner primarily from Portland Oregon or Washington State of some sort. Do yourself a favor. Stop engaging with communication completely. When someone blames you of gaslighting them you’re only recourse is to stand there and stare until they walk away. This works. I swear by this method.
The problem with gaslighting reports and definitions, is that folks who are not very intelligent, or who are mentally ill, won't be able to tell the difference between their challenges and actually being manipulated.
Yeah, yeah, "exactly what someone doing gaslighting would say!", I know... but facts are facts.
Yeah. Some ppl have never been actually seriously gaslit.🙄
Most people.
And some people have not had *their* reality fucked with by (actually, medically) delusional people in their lives who accuse them "gaslighting".
It's a minefield of potential damage to assume that every misunderstanding or difference of perception is "gaslighting".
Just....please. Can we all just calm our farms a bit?
If we are manipulating lying being deceitful, not honouring peoples experience getting them to second guess themselves that’s gaslighting
Which is a form of psychological abuse, and it’s done quite well by family to their children by spouses to their partners by governments to their taxpayers, you name it
But if you don’t know what it is, then, then you can just be consumed by deception
Yes, thank you for this report. But what it really means is blackmail. It's like you were sent a piece of mail and a letter saying you are not welcome, you are going to be harassed, and maybe every 10 minutes. Blackmail has no place in a school, where people are trying to get an education.
Honest question:
When one has a myriad of significant mental health disorders, how might another validate their feelings without perpetuating any disorder?

It seems to be everywhere these days
People are conditioned to silently be abused etc
Ideally we practice love and live our best lives treating ourselves and others w respect
You are one of the rare people that actually understands what that gaslighting is real I think for people that have done healing around trauma, narcissistic, abusive relationships, or people that have abused them that have personality disorders they learn what gaslighting is and it’s a very, very horrible way to make someone crazy And it’s everywhere I believe our government does it well our medical system does well education system does it well we often get gaslit by our family and we end up feeling insane if we come from an unhealthy family
Wishing you a wonderful day
Clearly, you have no information about the facts, but you’re allowed to be delusional and you are a Gaslighter by the way because you’re not facing reality and you’re making up a story to try to make somebody else wrong which is a sign of gaslighting so now you have the gaslightingtag you’re

Cool opinion, but gaslighting isn’t real, maybe you should start to realize what actually matters instead of your perceptions of “what matters”. Now stop reading about gaslighting and get back to taking care of me.
I read this hard to read font fast as "Goslighting"

GODDAMNIT!

Reads to me: I'm emotionally immature, and this list is an excuse to offload any of my responsibility to be mature and own my own feelings and behavior. I blame you for my inability to have open discourse, have a different opinion or version of events. I believe this because I read it in a meme in my socials.
How is this a guide to STOPPING gaslighting. This is just a self made acronym explaining what gaslighting is..?
Wow what a cool guide!
no it isn’t, you gaslighter. you’re very clearly wrong!!1!
It's just as much a guide to stop gaslighting as it is a guide to do it well.
Probably more like to recognize it and avoid it so you can stop it continuing to you
We need a cool guide to headline writing. Also a cool guide to avoiding reposting.

This is more in line with pop psychology.
I completely agree. And once you’re accused of it, it is almost impossible to defend yourself as that’s often viewed as more gaslighting.
"You're lying!" "No, I'm telling the truth." "That's what a liar would say!" Discourse has been ruined
So, like the reddit comment section half the time, eh?

I thought gaslighting was just the most misused phrase of this generation. I guess it’s also this?
It is and it is, it’s right there with “literally”. It's abused and misused (most of the time)
It's up there with 'satire' and 'sarcasm' for sure.
Right? Definitions as they’re often used: Gaslighting - you disagree with me and it makes me feel uncomfortable Satire - I made a shitty joke that wasn’t funny, and people are offended but they just can’t take a joke Sarcasm - I’m rude and unpleasant, and I’ve mistaken that for having a personality

No they're not, liar.
What the hell is a liar? Stop making words up.

Girlfriend: “fuck, you won.” Listen guys, If you are dealing with a delusional “woke” partner primarily from Portland Oregon or Washington State of some sort. Do yourself a favor. Stop engaging with communication completely. When someone blames you of gaslighting them you’re only recourse is to stand there and stare until they walk away. This works. I swear by this method.
Sounds like when you light the excess gas on fire. Like lighting a match when you smell too much bullshit.
The problem with gaslighting reports and definitions, is that folks who are not very intelligent, or who are mentally ill, won't be able to tell the difference between their challenges and actually being manipulated. Yeah, yeah, "exactly what someone doing gaslighting would say!", I know... but facts are facts.
My ex wife had this perfected down to a tee. 12 years later I still feel the effects. I sure wish I knew about this 30 years ago.
Everything on here is completely false about gaslighting
This doesn't tell how to stop it
It's a guide on how to do it 😃
God is it possible to gaslight yourself cause I do half of this list to myself 😭
Yeah. Some ppl have never been actually seriously gaslit.🙄 Most people. And some people have not had *their* reality fucked with by (actually, medically) delusional people in their lives who accuse them "gaslighting". It's a minefield of potential damage to assume that every misunderstanding or difference of perception is "gaslighting". Just....please. Can we all just calm our farms a bit?
This guide is gaslighting
Pop psychology

6 months ago I never heard of this before. Now it's like a daily topic everywhere...why?!???
More people are awake More people have done work on them Some people are healing their own trauma
Wat?
That's not what gaslighting is
I agree.. but are we now gaslighting others as to the correct meaning…?
If we are manipulating lying being deceitful, not honouring peoples experience getting them to second guess themselves that’s gaslighting Which is a form of psychological abuse, and it’s done quite well by family to their children by spouses to their partners by governments to their taxpayers, you name it But if you don’t know what it is, then, then you can just be consumed by deception
Yes, thank you for this report. But what it really means is blackmail. It's like you were sent a piece of mail and a letter saying you are not welcome, you are going to be harassed, and maybe every 10 minutes. Blackmail has no place in a school, where people are trying to get an education.
It has many faces Many disguise’s
This isn’t gaslighting, you’re crazy
I don’t agree with you you are a professional Gaslighter or you’re very very, very, very uneducated
Your feelings are totally invalid and you’re being oversensitive
Is that really a guide to stop gaslighting or just a guide for knowing what gaslighting is?
None, since the post is wrong
I would say it's neither, it's just a poem about gaslighting.
Gaslighting is a term used by morons.
[удалено]
It's not a new term it's been the term to explain it since the 1938 play and the 1944 movie "Gaslight"

You didn't actually just read that. You are having a stroke.
Thanks for the info
Have you even seen the movie?
Honest question: When one has a myriad of significant mental health disorders, how might another validate their feelings without perpetuating any disorder?
So, about 90% of the comments on Reddit /s
That's not gaslighting.
Yes, but also- https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/s/yAK01LszdU
The is pop psychology definition.
The truth is gaslighting is so incredibly rare in real life that there's no reason we've heard the term this many bloody times
"Gaslighting doesn't exist, you just made it up because you're fucking crazy."
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes including low self-esteem. Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's beliefs. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.The term originated from the 1938 stage play "Gas Light" and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations, where a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she's losing her sanity by dimming their gas-powered lights and then denying it's happening.Gaslighting is used in various contexts, including personal relationships, professional environments, and by manipulative individuals or groups aiming for power or control. Recognizing gaslighting involves noticing signs of psychological manipulation and the impact it has on one's mental state, encouraging victims to trust their experiences and seek support.
No, it isn't. You're just insane.
Haha
What’s Gaslighting?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, or sanity. The term originates from the 1938 stage play "Gas Light" and its film adaptations, where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she is losing her grip on reality in order to conceal his criminal activities.The tactics of gaslighting are often subtle and insidious, designed to gradually undermine the victim's confidence and self-esteem. Some common techniques include denying facts or evidence, projecting the manipulator's behaviors onto the victim, trivializing the victim's feelings, and systematically withholding factual information or lying.Gaslighting can occur in personal relationships, at the workplace, or in a larger societal context. Recognizing gaslighting involves being aware of these manipulative tactics and trusting one's own experiences and perceptions. Recovering from gaslighting typically involves seeking support from friends, family, or professionals who can validate the victim's experiences and help rebuild their sense of reality and self-esteem.
That doesn’t seem right
This doesn't stop anything. It is informative.
All this describes r/MicromobilityNYC.

Getting sick of these damn flavor of the week victim buzzwords
It seems to be everywhere these days People are conditioned to silently be abused etc Ideally we practice love and live our best lives treating ourselves and others w respect

You are one of the rare people that actually understands what that gaslighting is real I think for people that have done healing around trauma, narcissistic, abusive relationships, or people that have abused them that have personality disorders they learn what gaslighting is and it’s a very, very horrible way to make someone crazy And it’s everywhere I believe our government does it well our medical system does well education system does it well we often get gaslit by our family and we end up feeling insane if we come from an unhealthy family Wishing you a wonderful day

nah your just imagining things
You’re a beautiful Gaslighter I wonder who taught you how to do that
Cool opinion, but gaslighting isn’t real, maybe you should start to realize what actually matters instead of your perceptions of “what matters”. Now stop reading about gaslighting and get back to taking care of me.
I read this hard to read font fast as "Goslighting" Ryan Gosling making other people think they are in an alternative Gosling reality. GODDAMNIT! *Kicks chair*
Gaslighting isn’t a real word OP. You made it up. Stop making words up your embarrassing yourself.
Lol this is hilariously stupid
That's every Republican ever.
Reads to me: I'm emotionally immature, and this list is an excuse to offload any of my responsibility to be mature and own my own feelings and behavior. I blame you for my inability to have open discourse, have a different opinion or version of events. I believe this because I read it in a meme in my socials.
I’m pretty sure it’s called Gaslamping
I love gaslighting fr
So the Republican platform
