    Actual gaslighting or lying, disagreeing etc that people have taken the word gaslighting for and misused it?

      Gaslighting, as in those times when you tell your spouse the kitchen is on fire and they say “oh you’re just imagining things, that’s the aurora borealis in there”.

        So you are using in its correct context of abuse (manipulation) over a long time period of time meant to make you question your perception of reality and often leads to poor mental health like it was shown in the original film and not a single instance of such which granted can still be abuse but is not exactly gaslighting?

          That’s correct.
