Gaslighting Is Real
|
Gaslighting Is Real  Gaslighting has become a popular term more recently, with increased online usage. I knew I had heard it but really didn’t know what it meant so decided t.o research it’s origin and definition. The word originated from a “1938” p.l.a.y by the British dramatist Patrick Hamilton which was subsequently made into a popular movie in “1944” Throughout the film, a husband pushes his wife t.o question her own sanity by making her think she’s having delusions, so he can commit her t.o a mental institution and steal her inheritance. He secretly dims and brightens the gaslights in the house and makes strange noises at night, and when she brings it up, he tells her it’s all in her head. Intimate relationships are probably where gaslighting occurs most often, but it can also occur in other relationships, such as work environments and in family dynamics. Where gaslighting is successful, usually involves some sort of control or influence that the perpetrator has over the victim. While gaslighting often targets individual victims, i.t can also be implemented on a much larger scale, as a method of political control. By pushing a narrative with such a strong sense of conviction, that people will believe it. It takes lying t.o a new level by completely redrawing reality, instead of just covering something up. They say it as if they believe it and in a way that everyone around them believes it Similar t.o other forms of psychological abuse, those more susceptible t.o gaslighting are often those in vulnerable positions. The American Sociology Association states that gaslighting is rooted in social inequalities, such as race, gender and sexuality. T.h.e.r.e are some signs that can indicate someone is being the victim of gaslighting in their relationship. If someone is always speaking in a self-deprecating way or putting themselves down, they could be echoing the words of their gaslighter. They may not even realize this until someone else points that they’re being overly critical of themselves. It can help t.o ask someone that is always harsh on themselves why they feel that way, t.o help them determine if those are really their thoughts or the thoughts of someone else. Over time, gaslighting can seriously damage your sense of identity. Seek professional help when necessary. The most important thing t.o remember is that you are not the issue. If you’re being gaslit, it’s not a reflection of you. It really is about the abuser and their need for power and control.  |

It's used a fair bit by some scamangelical pastors to not only control their followers but also teach them how to use it against critics.

One way to avoid being gaslit online is to understand that the person doing it to you most likely does not know much about you. Most of us are complete strangers and should take peoples words with a grain of salt. The same would apply to those who get into petty little pissing contests here. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Brought this old song to mind by the Browns He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow The old lamplighter Of long, long ago You'd hear the patter of his feet As he came toddling down the street His smile would had a lonely heart you see If there were sweethearts in the park He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark Remembering the days that used to be For he recalls when things were new He loved someone who loved him too Who walks with him alone in memories He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago Now if you look up in the sky You'll understand the reason why The little stars at night are all aglow He turns them on when night is here He turns them off when dawn is near The little man we left of long ago He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter of long, long ago Songwriters: N. Simon / C. Tobias

Oh, how I know how it feels to be gaslighted. Being married to someone with borderline personality is an E Ticket to the gaslight roller coaster.
