Gassflyt

Gassflyt, also known as gaslighting, is a form of psychological manipulation where a person or group makes another person question their own memory, perception, or sanity. The term originates from the 1938 play "Gas Light" by Patrick Hamilton, where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she is going mad by dimming the gaslights in their home. In modern usage, gaslighting is often employed in abusive relationships, where one partner systematically undermines the other's reality to gain control.

Gaslighting can take many forms, including:

- Denying or dismissing the victim's feelings, experiences, or observations.

- Making the victim doubt their own perceptions or memories.

- Using guilt trips or emotional manipulation to control the victim.

- Changing the subject or avoiding conversations about the victim's concerns.

Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse and can have severe psychological and emotional consequences for the victim. It is important to recognize the signs of gaslighting and seek help if you or someone else is experiencing it. If you are a victim of gaslighting, it is crucial to prioritize your mental health and seek support from trusted friends, family, or professionals.
