"What if someone can unconsciously or accidentally gaslight another individual? What if gaslighting is a spectrum and not an absolute? What if it’s much more pernicious and global than I had thought?"



" The following are four levels of gaslighting:



Unconscious Gaslighting

Awareness Something Is Off

Intentional—More aware of an Impact—but no Intent to Seriously Harm

Malicious Intent With Desire to Harm"

"Toxic people condition you to believe the problem isn't the abuse itself, but instead, your reactions to the abuse. "



From Facebook. The above is an example of gaslighting.

Ivy, I must confess, I never heard the term “gaslighting” used before in that context. I was thinking it could be one of several things, one kinda comical.

But after reading the FB article you posted and looking up the term up online I think I’m an “expert”! Not true! But interesting.

Good to be aware how the new term (new to me) applies to unintentional or purposeful negative behaviors that could offend.

Wow that many!



Bad behavior should be stopped dead on its tracks. How many innocent people would be saved if they only knew what was happening to them?



Thanks for the post.
