When the government claims to be giving more in benefits, stimulus checks, or Cost of Living Adjustments…. But changes regulations so that the supposed change in favor of citizens is simultaneously recouped.

self-gaslight

When you deny your own actual experience and lie to yourself to convince yourself that something you actually know in your heart of hearts to be true, ISN'T actually true.
Jenny self-gaslights because she has convinced herself that the guy who has cheated on her twice will not cheat again even though he texts other women and is still very active on dating apps.

Medical gaslighting

Just a sugar coated nice and fluffy way to say medical malpractice. Basically it’s a type of malpractice where a doctor will refuse to treat and encourage other doctors to refuse to treat a patient using the method of telling them that their symptoms aren’t real and they’re crazy.
Patient: “there’s been blood in my poop for the past week, I lost 15lbs in a month from vomiting and it’s so bad that I can’t keep myself from fainting of dehydration.”
Doctor: “well ya know, anxiety-“
Patient: “shut the fuck off with your medical gaslighting shit, actually no, I’m done playing nice, your medical malpractice and medical negligence shit.”
Doctor: “you hurt my feelings, be nicer to me.”
Patient: “shut up.”
