stop using the word "gaslighting" when you mean "placing blame"
Gaslighting is a very powerful word pertaining to abuse, not something that happens when arguing with a friend or acquaintance. It is actual psychological manipulation.
Its not synonymous with blame shifting
Stop cheapening words with this much power behind them when you dont know the extent of them.
Your asshole ex blames you for the breakup when in reality it was his cheating? Thats not gaslighting. Thats BLAME SHIFTING.
Stop taking important words away from trauma survivors. For people who have been in therapy for abuse, these words are harsh and painful to see suddenly thrown around on the internet.
Stop.
