For instance, claiming that something has not happened even though it
did, or the opposite, until the other person gives up, due to tedium or
emotions, and then is forced to believe a false version of reality.
Corrupting the narrative and memories inside the victim.
It’s manipulative, it’s crazy, and it drives logic and memory totally out of the
window and into the dark realms. Yet, some people do this because they
don’t want to admit some wrong or just want to torture other people. It
can actually cause emotional and mental problems, and it can actually be
hard to recognize in those times of pressure. So I simply don’t want
this to happen.
Documentation is in fact one of the greatest protections to gaslighting,
and so is indifference, for instance, saying “Well, I recognize what it
is from your perspective, but I’m sticking to my version, thanks.” or
heck, saying nothing!
