Most recently? I can't even remember, that only happens online so it's of no consequence anyway. Most every time I argue with factual sources and someone argues back with opinions as facts that, sexist, racist, asshole, what have you are the most common responses.
It doesn't bother me, it's just the first time I actually looked up what it meant and realized it was impossible to "gas-light" someone online. Like the most you can manipulate a person online is catfishing or phishing. Really it could only go further than that if you're such a delicate snowflake that strong breezes rattle your constitution or something.
I am glad you don't let this get to you. The trolls tend to make me laugh. I don't take anyone seriously on the internet. Opinions are just that, opinions... everyone is entitled to their own. It's such a waste of energy.
It's a new term, more than one person has accused me of it and I found it interesting. Basically you distort a person's perception to make them question reality. I'd just call it manipulation, and some people are more susceptible to it than others.
Either way it's popular online, where I don't see the possibility of it actually happening as online is not a "real" place and reality is already distorted.

Lying to you to the point where you eventually believe it.
That would be everything subjective.
That image is not gaslighting, more like just generally toxic behaviour.
Gaslighting is deception that intends to make people doubt their own perspective of events.
Gaslighting to me is tantamount to the first definition of it that I can find on Urban Dictionary
What is it to me? Completely fucking made up nonsense. It doesn’t exist.
What? Who said that about you?

Personally I think gas lighting is purposely leaving people out of the know in order to change their views and believes
It's manipulation of others. Usually by a narcissist or douchebag.
ugh all my friends in the past have been gaslighters. so disgusting
gaslighting is 99% just a stupid term people use to excuse that others remember things differently. like a self centered person
Glad I'm not a gaslighter. 😅
I don't understand what that means
