Qualitative Gaslighting

This is when a person tells you what qualities you have, personality traits, etc. It can also be applied when someone's talking to someone else. It's even more harmful if the thing that's being said is simply untrue, and the person doing it has no idea what the person likes or enjoys.

Person: "I wanted to go skiing with your brother, but I don't know if he enjoys it"

Qualitative Gaslighter: "He loves skiing, I'll go and tell him to go with you"

The brother feels as though he now needs to portray this personality trait. Qualitative Gaslighting

Minnesota gaslighting

The act of convincing or attempting to convince someone that your personality and the current local temperature are both warmer than they actually are.

"My friends were Minnesota gaslighting me when they told me I wouldn't need a sweater but I later found out they just thought it was ugly and didn't want to be seen with me wearing it."

German gaslight

Like Mexican gaslighting, but regarding other genocides as opposed to the spicy-ness of food.

Also a tongue-in-cheek politically incorrect dark humor-jab at concentration camps in general.

Normal person: “Man I can’t believe the Nazis killed that many Jews”
German Gaslighter: “yeah well Stalin was worse! And have you seen what China has been doing??”

Ambient Gaslighting

It's literally just "weaponized schizophrenia". He literally just called it a different thing. That's another Dr. I'm better than. Can you believe that shit?

Hym "Ambient Gaslighting? Isn't it kind of sad that I'm just better than all the psychology doctors? ..... By default? I mean, seriously... That's another one. He saw this and he's like 'Wow, that's brilliant! Look at how much better this guy is than me at the job that I trained at for years!' I KNOW, RIGHT!? I thought I was worse than everyone! And the sad part is I don't even want to be better than anyone! I just AM!"

Racial Gaslighting

Racial gaslighting is when Black, Indigenous, and people of color confront the ways they have experienced racism, and an individual, group, or institution (such as the media, legal system, or government) tries to make them doubt their experience, often to maintain control, avoid taking accountability, or conduct
normalized racial abuse.
