Even though the term “gaslighting” feels zeitgeist-y, the manipulative act has been around for quite some time. It’s actually tied to a 1938 play titled Gas Light, which was adapted for film a couple of times, most notably in the 1944 movie, Gaslight, starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. The story follows a male protagonist who convinces his wife she’s imagining things that are actually happening—including the dimming of the house’s gas lights—with makes her believe she’s going insane.
” It’s a sign that someone is gaslighting you if they are:Constantly minimizing or invalidating your feelings Avoiding taking responsibility for their actions Lying Regularly recalling events differently than you Using words like paranoid, overreactive, dramatic, overly sensitive, or crazy Experiencing self-doubt Acting reactively or intensely where it’s unwarranted Examples of gaslighting Gaslighting can occur in many different scenarios.
