Search Results: self esteem and confidence

So I gaslight, mostly my roommate. I convince her that she did or say things she didn't actually do. I just like to play mental games and see if I can outwit people. I don't do the whole make her think things are her fault when they're mine like domestic abusers do after they strike their partner. But like if she starts just chit-chatting with me I can predict what the conversation is going to turn into after a minute of listening to her and I start making the points before she says them and then tell her we already had this conversation earlier in the day (we hadn't). I don't think I'm hurting her nor am I trying to destroy her self-esteem or make her be dependent of me which is what I learned people want when they gaslight. I just like the challenge of creating a false perception and mentally besting someone else. I make up the lie and then I present it to her with the utmost confidence and I add exact details to make it seem really believable.
