The term doublespeak originated in the George Orwell book "1984," to refer to language that is intended as a mind-screw in order to confuse people into submission, such as, "Freedom is slavery."
Doublespeak can also refer to language that is used by people to gas-light people by fucking up their life and insisting that their intent is to encourage you or that they aren't rejecting you.
