This is a great cartoon to describe gaslighting. I was thinking of the PERCEIVE quote from the other day, that was direct gaslighting. They have to change history and get you to even doubt your own thoughts to play their games. Everything is about invalidation. Even having a witness won't dissuade a gaslighter for changing reality.
I remember taking gingo biloboa, the natural remedy for memory loss. I was a klutz, a ditz, and I used to get yelled at over it. Omg, I'm so angry these days.
ReplyDeleteHey they will make you think you have lost your marbles as they lie. One thing that can be scary is when they have forgotten they told you something and then tell you the complete opposite. Yes gaslighting makes everyone angry too.
DeleteMe too Joan....I'm a horrible listener, don't remember shit, and could f--k up a wet dream.....
ReplyDeleteYes I was told the same thing too, selfish, don't listen, etc. It's all sickening mind games!
DeleteOne time I argued with my mother over something she said and it lasted until about 3 in the morning. I would ask her about what she said and she would say she didn't say that and I was mistaken, Then I would ask her if she meant A,B, or C and she would say no I didn't say that either. We went in circles like that for a couple of hours until I gave up and left. And if she had not died or me walked away I have no doubt would still be arguing and this happened in 2007
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me, they won't give up! They will never give in never ever.
DeleteI remember how shocked I was the first time I knew, without a doubt, that my aunt had lied. She was looked upon as the perfect saint, in the family. And still is. She may have been faithful to her husband, but she lies like there is no tomorrow.
