This is the best and simplest explanation of Gaslighting that I’ve ever seen. Well done. New sub Cheers!
-
I wish people would use this term correctly, so often people say "You're trying to gaslight me." when someone merely disagrees with them.
-
Best explanation of the origin of the term, something which helps us to be more precise in our speech and therefore our thinking. Really appreciate it, thank you.
-
Thank you. I was trying to explain gaslighting, but not doing a very good job, then we saw this. Great and simple explanation.
-
It's important to note here that the gaslighting was intentiional and malicious. Sadly, we have evolved into a society that wants to label everyone who disagrees with us as gaslighters. The word is losing a lot of credibility.

This is so cruel. Yet so many people do it.

It started out as a stage play written by Patrick Hamilton in 1938. Then the 1940 film directed by Thorold Dickinson (starring Diana Wynyard). Then the 1944 film directed by George Cukor (starring Ingrid Bergman).

I actually posted the link to this video in the comments of another video about gaslighting from one of those “Trust me! I’m a Doctor! No really! I’m a Doctor, Doctor for realsies and for true!” channels because he went on and on for eleven minutes and just confused the issue. So I hope I haven’t unwittingly started a YouTube’s war! Lol.

Thank you

I never knew what this word meant until around 2020. Learned a lot of new English words since I temporarily left from my tribe.
-
I was wondering what that meant. It happens, there are people who will make us doubt our perception of a situation, our instincts as well, and if that happens enough, we ourselves may begin doubting our own sanity. It's a very cruel thing to do to anyone.
-
Thank you.

Pls thr complete film

So would computer throttling apply ? How about your phone listening in and giving ads ?
-
They will also make you believe that you are ugly and nobody would truly love you. They are the only one who will love you. I’ve seen this happen to people around me

Tjanks!

The original is 1940. It was remade in 1944. Your history is a little off but a good little video you made
