HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A fight with a family member or significant other and had the other person categorically deny facts that you both know are true? Have you ever had a boss or colleague blame you so convincingly for something he or she did that you ended up doubting your memory? Or, when you've questioned someone about what he or she was doing in a particular instance, has the person turned around and accused you of being crazy, confused, overly sensitive or ... (fill in the insult)?
If so, you're no stranger to gaslighting: an insidious form of psychological manipulation that can be hard to recognize and even more difficult to deal with. The recent spate of sexual misconduct scandals, workplace bullying stories and conspiratorial political power plays that have been in the news has shed a bright light on gaslighting.
[SNIP]The term comes from the 1944 movie "Gaslight," a mystery-thriller in which a man slowly tricks and manipulates his wife into believing she is losing her mind ...

Then they lied and said they had never blamed the video.

I like your thoughts but I guarantee you if the pay and benefits were high enough those construction jobs would be filled.
Suppose they paid $200 an hour? Would there be any vacancies? Of course not.
Well keep going lower and youll find the correct wage when you get a decent number of qualified candidates. And thats how capitalism actually works...not by importing slaves.
That's some very poor advice from the author. That's giving more ammo to the aggressor.
Nope, it works if you trust the person lying to you.
You do not trust CNN (at least I hope you don't) so you were able to laugh it off.
If you were dealing with someone you trusted on another subject you would probably fall just as easily into the trap.
When it looked candidate Trump was the real thing and might win!
The Never Trumpsters on Free Republic went ballistic with their Gas Lighting of Candidate Trump. They posted every vile left wing and NR article that blasted candidate Trump.
Then, when we told them to knock of the Gas Lighting, they doubled down and said they were the real conservatives not Trump and not us. That was their Gas Lighting of us, the Deplorables..
They only “trick” the weak or unwary. Anyone confronting a libturd should know that little to nothing will be accomplished.
Dude must have been gay, married to Ingrid Bergman and all cared about was finding some rocks.
The best thing that ever happened to my mental was being able to identify manipulation. Some people are so subtle with it that it took years before I understood what was going on.
And after I stopped being manipulated by them they hated me.
Life is good!
“And thats how capitalism actually works...”
“Wait - so you mean if I work here I can’t collect welfare!? Well how is that fair?”
I was going to add “And a drug test!!?? That’s against my rights.” But of course that IS part of the free market of supply (of good workers) and demand. Although I guess even that is affected by the government. Pretty sure there isn’t any drug test to qualify for welfare.
Had people try it on me - it never worked though
As to have I ever been "Gaslighted?"
Many trolls and FR-lite posters on this forum have tried, but never succeeded!
Libertarians, like Rush Limbaugh, Fox News etc., have been gaslighting “normal” Republicans into believing Free Trade is a good thing when every statistic and observation says the opposite.
The entire GloBULL Warming hoax - Left wing Gaslighting.
We are a nation of laws... IF any person enters this nation illegally they are 'bad'!!!!! But worse than the illegals, are those that participate in the crime. You try and go to the country of origin of any illegal and see IF you can 'work' on the sly and get away with it.
Do you work for some national 'religious' charity?
Go f yourself.
Dude must have been gay, married to Ingrid Bergman and all cared about was finding some rocks.
Agreed. Poofery on display.
