[@shilohhighland6716]

Best example I got of this was an IOU I had with an ex-friend. I had written what they owed and told them that the grocery money I gave them had to be returned in cash. They erased the IOU and disappeared. I didn’t know where they were, so I rewrote the IOU as it wasn’t paid off then left for the scheduled movie date with my boyfriend. Ex-friend texted me how I am a horrible friend and person, to the point that my boyfriend had to get involved. Thankfully we were alone in that theater, but it really soured the date for us. Then the ex-friend told me that I did agree to be gifted with salad packets for the $100 I gave them for the IOU in grocery money. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and didn’t have a job, and I did loose my cool. Ex-friend used that moment to tell my boyfriend how they are the victim and I just want to steal my ex-friend’s money. Still short $400 (rent and groceries) but my baby and I don’t have that toxicity to deal with no more.

[@bombpwr]

Glad this term is getting recognized at a larger scale now, so many times where people gaslight someone, and the person knows that they are gaslighting them but they just can’t think of a proper term to call them out on it.

[@bunn228]

I partially agree. It's good the word is getting spread if it's being understood and used correctly. But some people don't fully understand it and use it incorrectly, which endangers people who are being gaslighted in relationships all the time. My friend uses it incorrectly and essentially says if you're messing around and he's getting triggered, that's gaslighting, which is not true. I was gaslit by my mum as a child all the time that my reality when I grew up was warped, and what I thought was "normal" was not. Been 10 years and I'm still in therapy working on it.

[@NateS917]

Why are you gaslighting me?

[@Thot_Patrol_USA]

the closest i got was “tricking” or decieving

[@viewmann200]

A gaslighter’s motto “I’m not the problem, you’re the problem” I will never forget the story an ex friend said to me and our other friends one time, she was in a relationship that was going CALM, SMOOTH, BUTTERY! No drama at all….and she started a petty argument out of nowhere because she said, and I quote “this shit is too calm” some people can’t let go of their need to fuel their ego through drama

[@UnknownCartoonEditor]

Sorry you had to deal with that. Some people literally just want to tear good things down. Silence can be deadly, and the best reaction (if you deem appropriate) can sometimes be no reaction & slowly distancing yourself from them.

[@catcheney7518]

what's true for this can also be their upbringing. If they feel comfortable in chaos because that's home for them. They'll continue to seek out fucked up situations or worse gaslight to create the chaos they so badly crave to feel like its actually love. Because the love they've grown to know, and the only version of love they've cultivated for themselves, is the love that was given to them as a kid.

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

@@UnknownCartoonEditor No reaction is absolutely the move. As soon as they start a lie, literally just walk away and give them the silent treatment. An intentional gaslighter has the very specific goal of altering your perception. If you put up a wall every time they lie, they physically do not have access to your perception. Not to mention shunning is very upsetting to humans, who are social creatures. So you're effectively punishing them for bad behavior at the same time. "You lie to me, you get no interaction with me" There's zero purpose in trying to reason with one. You can literally slam down piles of video evidence, and they will STILL find a way to rationalize their way out of it in their own minds. It will only serve to ruin your own mental state. The only option is total rejection

I don't think anybody who tries to be a good partner in a relationship should be cheated on, much less to that extent. Even despite possibly having feelings of reliance or attachment to that person. After getting cheated on, there's just no mending that trust and would be better off cutting ties.

[@IC33E]

You being cheated on has nothing to do with you but your partner’s personality. Be careful who pick, it’s starting to become a selfish world

[@kateprice7417]

I think there's an important difference between lying and gaslighting. Lying is just not telling the truth/trying to convince someone they're wrong. Gaslighting is making the other person feel crazy and like they're the one who's at fault. And usually it's slow and over a long period of time. Not just telling a lie

[@anayabrown2941]

This video really touched me because iv'e did some toxic stuff to my friends and lied about it and now I wish I'd seen this sooner.

The "be honest" advice is the best you can get.

I have recently had this unfortunate discovery with friends and gaslighting. It's always the most insecure/immature ones that try gaslighting you. You might even call them out for it step by step what you saw them doing and they will still try to further lie to your face even when you're giving them a chance to come clean. Like, nope. Block and move on. You don't need friends like that.

[@Oceanlinx]

Amen! I needed to read this today, I cut ties and blocked a former friend because her lying and gaslighting was level 10. It is what it is.

My dad is the literal definition of gaslighting. I had emotional stress over him for a very long time, as he basically destroyed my mother's life in more ways than one, and if I so much as say "well, here's hoping you don't-" And that is enough to send him on a rant, as if a stranger scolded him just them.

We've got to make sure that people, particularly those of a certain generation, know that "Gaslighting" is *not* the same thing as "Lying".
