Gaslighting Things Manipulators Do To Control You

“Gaslighting” is a term inspired by a 1944 film called “Gaslight.” In the film, a husband tries to manipulate his wife into believing she is “losing her mind” to get her taken into an asylum and steal her jewels. One of his most prominent tactics was affecting the gas lights in the house to flicker but would deny that anything was out of the ordinary when confronted. In a previous video, 5 Phrases Gaslighters Use to Control You, we talked about some gaslighter phrases. In this video, we’ll dive deeper into the gaslighters themselves. Let’s begin.

    A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient

    I'm just easy to gaslight.. My dad has been gaslighting me for a while now, and it was pretty obvious. Him and my mom aren't together, so I used to go over to his house. Though, due to some personal reasons I have stopped seeing him. When I told him that I would be taking a break from him, he said something along the lines of "So I don't matter anymore?" or "So you don't love your dad?". He's been saying stuff like that for a long time, and I only realized what was happening the last time he did it.

    That’s not gaslighting. Maybe he genuinely thinks you don’t love him. And honestly the way you talk it sounds like it. One tactic manipulators use is silent treatment or ghosting people when they don’t like things. This isolates the victim. I’m guessing the idea came from mom…because if this is your own tactic then well the shoe fits.

    I’ll give you an example cause it happened to me for real: My ex and I were talking and I asked him to tell me when he was going to sleep cause I didn’t want to stay there waiting for his reply when in reality he was sleeping, and he said ok. The thing is that he left once again without saying anything. I was mad cause I’ve asked him something very easy but he broke it, so I had to wait the next day to tell him that I didn’t like that he left without saying anything, cause I asked him to tell me that and he also agreed. It’s a simple message you know? He got mad at me saying that if I care about these things it means I have nothing in my life and that I had to find something to do, and the conversation was suddenly about me. This is about respect, he didn’t respect something that I care about and instead of acknowledging it and apologizing he flipped the conversation. All of a sudden I was the problem, not him. Beware of these kind of tactics

    The key of your story is his anger. Gaslighters will get angry when you want truth, reciprocation, care, kindness, etc. Their anger is the sign to look out for. Example, my ex and I were together. She told me over and over again that I was "the only one". But I had a gut feeling. Deep down I wondered if she was cheating. So I asked her, "Are you cheating on me?" She went into hysterics: "No! Why are you asking me such things?! Do you know upset that makes ME? I'm crying right now because of you, thanks, thanks a lot!" (Sob)" I felt so bad that I comforted her and bought her ice cream. Still, during the next week the feeling wouldn't leave me, she was always on the phone, always texting someone, she was distant with me, gave me silent treatment, and would not want my hugs. So the next week I asked: "Can I see your text?" She got angry, furious. "No! That's my phone! How dare you ask?! Do you know how rude that is? Wow, wow, you are awful person. Nobody who loves and trusts their partner asks that. Ever." I felt so bad... Well, turns out she was cheating that whole time. So that's how you know. They cry, get angry and turn on you, blame you. A caring partner would give you their phone without question or talk in a calm manner.

    @@specialtwice4975yes you’re right, they explode in anger when you’re asking for something that isn’t a big deal, I asked him other things that a normal person would have just agreed with and instead I received anger. I hate this treatment. Also I obviously developed anxiety when I want to ask for something that is basically about respect, I just ask to be respected and he overreacts. You know the feeling of walking on eggshells? That. I think they overreact when they know they’re wrong… it hurts but I learnt that it’s not my fault and not my responsibility if they react like that and it also means they know we are right

    Except when your mental health professionals are the ones using manipulation to keep you stuck and they have many helpers within the community. Using also technology to aid in their evaluation of where you're at in order to show where they should aim their efforts. In the community I live these people are truly monsters with a maximum amount of control.

    I don't agree with this cause those 3-4 people may have a different outlook on a certain thing and I may have a completely diff one but that doesn't mean that my argument is bad and wrong just because a bunch of people don't agree with me. They might be right in their heads, while I am in mine but in another scenario either I could be completely wrong or them but still you can't judge if someone is wrong or right just merely on the basis of how many people are against that person.
