It sounds like pure manipulation when I read about it but if it is manipulation, why does it need it's own special term?
Example: Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. It works much better than you may think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed. For example, in the movie Gaslight (1944), a man manipulates his wife to the point where she thinks she is losing her mind. If someone in a relationship says "my S/O gaslights me" does that just mean they know how to mentally fuck with you? --- RIP in peace Junpei 6/1/17 :( ... Copied to Clipboard!

It sounds like instead of manipulating someone to gain something for yourself, this term is for people that want to make someone else go insane.

You can manipulate somebody by only telling relevant truths.
When you gaslight, you can insist something did/didn't happen to the extent that they question what they remember. For example: "I didn't post in your thread. Why don't you tell Erik_P to stop trolling?" --- RIP_Supa posted... I've seen some stuff ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can manipulate somebody by only telling relevant truths. Gotcha, so in a way it's trying to convince someone that there wrong, even if there is evidence stating the opposite (especially when it comes to remembering past situations i.e getting caught cheating) That makes sense when I re-read people using the term --- RIP in peace Junpei 6/1/17 :( ...

Loosely, it's manipulating somebody into believing that their legitimate grievances with you are actually their own fault, or imagined. It's a form of manipulation, but it's a specific one, which is why there's a specific term.

Pretty sure the only reason it's called Gaslighting is because it's named after the play/movie. But other people have already described WHAT it is.

The concept kinda works better when applied under certain contexts.
mastermix3000 posted... If someone in a relationship says "my S/O gaslights me" does that just mean they know how to mentally fuck with you? Nobody who says that actually means it because they don't know what it entails. If you were being gaslit by a s/o, you wouldn't know it. You wouldn't even think of questioning their narrative to learn better. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

The way it's always been used in my experience is - when you talk a girl up saying you want to be in a relationship and you do relationship stuff, then you stop talking to them.

It's another overused buzzword. The concept certainly does exist, but as soon as social media figured out the accusation of it could be used as a weapon suddenly everyone is a gaslighter.

PO and others have already linked to that other film (Gaslight) several times and, as it's in the 1940s without a remake or major re-release, there's no way that it spawned the use of the term again. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
