ok I’ve seen the word gaslighting used completely insensitively and incorrectly, and I really wanted to remind everyone that gaslighting is a term used for a specific kind of abusive tactic where the abuser continually and purposefully makes you doubt your perception of reality, in order to make you doubt what happened to you actually happened, and ultimately doubt your sanity. for example, hitting you and then continuously saying they never hit you and you must have imagined it. not someone disagreeing with you, not someone saying your opinion is wrong - that’s an argument. can we please not water down important abuse terminology
