Does anyone know about the neuroscience of gaslighting? It’s hard for me to fathom how some people’s brains can do it. I have an almost obsessive need to take anything messy, chaotic, or contradictory and make sense of it. To find the unifying logic or theme in the noise.
Of course, I have my own blind spots, but the mind of someone who routinely gaslights others is a mind in which all those contradictions cause no cognitive stress. I cannot imagine what it’s like to live inside that brain. It would be like living perpetually in Alice’s Wonderland
Wow. These aren’t even great tweets. Clearly a lot of the people have experienced the frustration of being gaslit. It’s especially dicey if dealing with someone with NPD. It’s the feeling of—your brain does not follow the same rules, does it?
