If someone hit another person and said ‘you made me do this’ would you believe them?

[Still-alive]

Yes i would

No of course not. Its typical abuser/bullying gaslighting

It depends

[whereismyjohnny]

Nope. I've been gaslighted before, so I easily recognise it and cut it at the roots, letting them know not even to try to play these tricks on me.

[Still-alive]

Sorry that happened to you.

[whereismyjohnny]

That's life, you live, you learn. 😅 But thank you :)

[Still-alive]

Oh i know that lesson well yes lol.

[douride2]

Sounds like a whole lot of horse $hit to me.

[douride2]

Thanks for a MHO.

[LiamJHayden]

Did the person brandish a weapon of otherwise threaten the person first? To me that would be justified. If just because the person who hit lost composure, no.

gotta know context first

[Still-alive]

hmmmmm

[MemeSupreme]

what lol

[Still-alive]

yup sorry im having trouble wracking my brain finding any context where a person saying this is believable.

Like unless you're held at gun point or forced against your will do something maybe but...

[MemeSupreme]

i could see it being said to a drunk guy or a burglar/thief

im just saying it depends

[Still-alive]

even in the context of those examples it depends though. you'd have to get very very specific.

so im gonna go with 99% there's no context in which a person saying this isn't just some gaslighting abuser type.
