I see a ton of people on this site scream about libs using this word wrong. So what actually is the definition of this word, how is it supposed to be used? I looked it up once and became even more confused
There is no meaning of “gaslighting”. Are you sure that’s even a real word? You’re just imagining things, aren’t you?
It’s when you shine four lights into Captain Picard’s eyes, ask him how many there are, and torture him for not saying five.
(It’s a psychological abuse tactic where you try to make the victim doubt their own sanity by questioning obvious facts. It’s completely meaningless in public discourse since facts are political, nobody understands power dynamics, and anything that can be a stand-in for “thing I don’t like” can be applied to anything else.)
There is no correct use of gaslighting it is an abuser technique do not do it please

Do you really? I don’t think you have. Sounds like something you were just projecting.
