"NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!"
I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot.
Gaslighting is a covert aggressive way of distorting another person's perception of reality to the point that that person questions their sanity or their memory.
Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you're actually going crazy.
Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse.
Gaslighting is lying with a goal.
The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you're crazy or that your memory doesn't work right. So you can't trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.
This means you'll defer to the abuser for an account of what's real so slowly over time the abuser becomes the authority over your life.
Gaslighting takes place in relationships, like one-on-one relationships. It takes place in friendships, in family, in work, you'll see gaslighting on the news, you'll hear gaslighting coming from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising commercials, etc.
