Im sorry to say this; but this vid did not resonate well with me at all - as gaslighting is never going away - but i do agree it can be managed. Although with the way peoples' behaviors are it is becoming a lot more difficult to reason with people as the job market is a disgrace, and people are becoming more selfish and ignorant, and I've been being blamed by certain peers that I've tried to reason with over and over and im to the point where im just really becoming genuinely frustrated. and I'm to a point where im going to maybe have to go into therapy, otherwise im going to have a nervous breakdown, and past jobs ive had really haven't been helping with my psychological condition either. and i dont believe i deserve to be disrespected or blamed for something that is not my fault. But take this message however you want, that is just how i feel. Anyone can disagree with me or give suggestions on what to do; but please no disrespectful or hurtful comments. Please.

My older sister and mother are like that they will always always find a way to prove me wrong, I struggled a lot when i way younger I lost my confidence and always isolated my self, now when i grow up i understand much they were always focucing on their perspectives and struggles but never tried to see things from my perspective never felt my efforts or pain for them they are older so wiser and nothing i think or say can be qualified and truthfull, it took me years to recover from childhood and teenager trauma, now I am good with them but never volunable, i never share my thoughs niether my decisions with them, my solution was to be fully emotional inactive with them and never let them affect my feeling and mental health again.

they said they weren't used to being with someone that had friends and didn't know how things would work when I got better and would eventually want to hang out with my friends. the fit they threw when one of my friends finally got a break and wanted to hang out like we would usually do when they had time. it was all right there in front of me but I didn't want to see it once again. that proof and those friends are the biggest things keeping me from completely spiraling like I did with past traumas. everything still feels so surreal, but they could never tear us apart or erase the proof I have, regardless of what their reality is.

Gaslighting is subjective. You may feel that somebody is gaslighting you with their own version of events, but that works both ways. They too will feel that you're gaslighting them with your version of events. We all see and experience the world through our own personal lens. None of us are free from our own personal biases. It's human nature to remember things in the way that we want to remember them and as such, people have conflicting memories and feelings over the same series of events that unfolded. Gaslighting is a non-sensical term used by people who don't realize that they too are gaslighting somebody else.

As someone who really does have an excellent memory for detail (due in no small part to my own past trauma, I often get accused of gaslighting when I correct people who I know are remembering details incorrectly, and it's extremely frustrating.
It's very important to remember that gaslighting, like all forms of abuse, is distinguishable from legitimate behavior ONLY by the intent of the person doing it. The word abuse is literally the Latin word for incorrect usage -- EVERY action can be legitimate if done with good intent, or abusive if done with bad intent.

I honestly find it extremely hard to fight off gaslighting in conversations because the gaslighter often twists reality to their own liking, belittling you, and speaking in a way to frame you as pathetic. Sometimes, they do it so poorly its comedic, but even in such scenarios, it could be hard to put them in their place. Sometimes you can't. Unfortunately, the best you can do is just exit the conversation or relationship whatsoever.

I’m hypervigilant at home and my partner gaslighted me recently. They had me thinking we had a ghost when it was our pet who snuck off to do mischief. He’s right here! And two minutes later our pet comes from where the ghost was. Sometimes it’s funny but he admitted that gaslighting is his default mode when he doesn’t want to be bothered or do something. like check on our pet instead of tweeting or gaming. SIGH

My mother has been unbearable ever since I started going out with a woman just because she has children. Unfortunately I won't be able to leave her house in my current situation, but she's been making my life miserable when otherwise I'd be in a very happy moment with the woman I'm dating.
Oh God, the things she says and the lengths she goes to convince me to end the relationship makes me sick.

My mom keeps gaslighting me, I already gave up on my life because whenever I try to tell her the truth she always tells what she believes and states this as true, but that's false man. But now I've just given up my life on just listening to her and just telling yeah you're right because I'm soo tired fighting with this. I just can't take this anymore. Im just empty.

When the gaslighter decides whether we have a place to live, or medical care, or food to eat, or transportation, or money for these basic needs, we CAN’T just confidently walk away, which is why bullies deliberately seek out positions such as parent, teacher, manager, landlord, breadwinner, etc.

I will just say, I had a run in with one gaslighting me for months, the only option left in the end in my circumstances, was to cut all ties immediately and without prior warning. No regrets and no geting around it. Best decision in my life.

I keep forgetting that Psych2Go makes videos on large-scale gaslighting only, never on the smaller yet often overlooked side of it, so I foolishly skim through the video in search of useful information, and end up leaving empty-handed.

Hard to respond when the gaslighter/narcissist doesn't let you talk.
Had a run in with one that literally said I don't give an F to I don't care! literally yelling those two phrases over and over again.
