brestugo 11/24/18 2:10:28 PM #25:	The term "Gaslighting" comes from a movie called Gaslight (clever, huh?). A guy tries to drive his wife crazy (for a reason I've now forgotten). He tries to make her believe what did happen, didn't and what didn't happen, did. In one scene he dims a gaslight. When his wife says "did it just get darker in here?" He goes on this long rant about how the lights are all the same, what's wrong with you, why am I always being accused, etc. in order to break down her belief in reality.

Laserion 11/24/18 2:32:35 PM #44:	brestugo posted... The term "Gaslighting" comes from a movie called Gaslight (clever, huh?). A guy tries to drive his wife crazy (for a reason I've now forgotten). He tries to make her believe what did happen, didn't and what didn't happen, did. In one scene he dims a gaslight. When his wife says "did it just get darker in here?" He goes on this long rant about how the lights are all the same, what's wrong with you, why am I always being accused, etc. in order to break down her belief in reality. It's a psychological tactic to deceive. Is that the one where she wore a green dress, but some time later she's looking for it and finds a red dress? He claims it was always red. She decides to prove him wrong and pulls the pictures from that time on the computer. The dress was red! He had photoshopped the green into red. Colors may have been the other way around.
