Ambient Abuse

A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Gaslighting. where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. The classic example of ambient abuse is to very subtly toy with someone's environment in a way that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes. Doing this on a long term and/or methodical basis (as opposed to the occasional practical joke) with the intent to cause distress and harm would be considered ambient abuse.

A more psychological definition of ambient abuse is "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim - having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception.

Your spouse begins telling you things that never really happened. For instance, he says that last week he told you he was going to go to the bar with his buddies this Monday night, but you never remember him telling you that.

Or maybe your boss gets angry because you didn't prepare the report he asked you to. When you remind him that he usually prepares that particular report, he snaps that he told you to take care of it a few days ago because he was too busy. However, you know he never asked you to do so.

Both of these could be considered ambient abuse.

ambient gaiety

An aura surrounding a self-purported straight male that alerts your spidey sense that his ass is really gay.

I don't care how many times Henry says he's straight, everyone knows he's lying! He's dragging ambient gaiety around like Pig Pen's cloud of funk.

ambient intimacy

Internet ESP a side effect of social networking sites such as Twitter and the Facebook News Feed; increased awareness of your 'friends' and of your overall network; feeling of connection within loose social networks

You know your witnessing ambient intimacy when you sense that your sister's ex-boyfriend from middle school is writing a term paper 2000 miles away--from seeing his status update on your news feed.
Knowing the girl you have a crush is no longer fbo. And she is at the coffee shop - Ambient!
Looks like its a bad day status updates are :-( within the network.
