Gaslighting

Gaslighting? Is that some word your little internet friends taught you? They’re taking advantage of you, you need to listen to me not them. I love you more than they ever could. Why would I ever lie to you? I can’t believe you would even say that. You’re being so rude to me right now. You should be glad I haven’t left you yet.
Gaslighting isn’t real sweetie

Google-gaslight

When you’re trying to find something on Google, but Google search returns are pushing another agenda so don’t actually show you the results of the thing you’re searching for so you start to think it’s not real.
I spent three hours searching for the 6th episode of the 4th season of The X-Files, but Google only showed me links to How I Met Your Mother, so I thought, "Hmm, I guess they didn't make a 4th season of The X-Files"--Google-gaslight...Again!!

Gaslighting

A form of psychological abuse in which someone (historically male) attempts to invalidate or belittle another person (historically female) by painting a picture of them as 'psycho' or 'crazy'.
This is often done to justify, or deflect from the abuser's behavior.

This can be done in numerous ways

1) By attempting to trick the person themselves into thinking they are insane. Trying to make them lose trust in their own memory or perception.

2) By provocatively baiting someone (often by taunting them or pushing their buttons) into reacting 'irrationally' so that you may demonstrate to others that they are 'unmanageable', 'psycho' or 'crazy'.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was having an affair. In an attempt to 1) get rid of his wife, and get her out of the picture, and 2) justify his infidelity, he would try to convince her and others of her insanity. He would hide her belongings, torment her, withhold information from her then insist he told her and she simply forgot. This led to her being locked away in a mental asylum.

"Did you see how Michael was gaslighting Amber on Love Island last night? Her reaction to him cheating was completely sound until he provoked her by taunting her, and now he thinks he has proven his point that she is 'childish' and 'crazy'."

Gaslighting

Gaslighting:

Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that's seen in mental abusive relationships. It's the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events occurring around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity.

Women are very well known for gaslighting throughout the world they will constantly move things that someone else has placed somewhere then act as if they did not do so. Most of the time women do this in order to upset their paryner to the point where they blow up and argue, so that they (women) can then play the victim of emotional abuse themselves all while making the other party feel like a mad man losing his mind, with now a blame problem added to it all while they (men) sit in sorrow and regret questioning what is wrong with themself.

Don't fall for "Gaslighting" call it out!
