Someone can lie without it being gaslighting.
Gaslighting literally makes you question your reality. Did that actually happen? Am I crazy? It& #39;s over a long period of time, it& #39;s not one fucking lie.
An example. My father had a few wonderful hobbies that included cheating on my mom for over a decade with the same woman.
Every time my mother "caught" him, he found a way to instead make her feel insane and as if she was imagining it.
When I expressed discontent, he would soften his face, moisten his eyes, and say something like, "Don& #39;t you remember when you gave me your approval?.... I mean you took my side against your mom."
"Your mom knows, Mia, she just wants me to pretend she doesn& #39;t for her pride."
This was, of course, only the tip of the iceberg.

So you know, it actually bothers me a lot to see nimrods throw around the terms gaslighting because their friend lied, narcissism because they had a falling out, abuse to describe the reason an online community fell out.
I am not saying your pain has to be greater than mine to use these terms AT ALL. But please realize narcissism describes a medical disorder, gaslighting is more than just lies.
You& #39;re literally trivializing these words by using them in every day context.

And before someone says anything, obviously I& #39;m not subtweeting anyone specific. I& #39;d comment on them instead

I& #39;m subtweeting the overuse of these words period.
