you sound like you live in paranoiasville.
Gaslighting
Does that ever work or do most or just laugh at you?
I'm not the fucking moron who is making assumption, you are.
At least I didn't try to gaslight anyone. That's just sad.
That dude is an asshole, but it is not gaslighting. people try to apply gaslighting to everytype of conflict now. Gaslighting would be them saying you formerly told them you lived in Paranoiaville and now you are denying it. it is when somebody actively tries to twist your memory, not just contradict you , or be sarcastic or condescending.
Gaslighting is the act of trying to convince someone that they are crazy. In its simplest form telling someone who is not crazy that they are crazy is gaslighting.
No, it has to be a repeated effort with manipulation to convince you are, not a rando making a sarcastic insult. If you question where you live by them saying paranoiaville is your home town then you have another issue, as you know exactly where you live, and also know they are making a sarcastic comment on you being paranoid.
Myriam Webster says that it can include questioning your mental health. A single instance is just the first of several.
You may be right, though. It doesn't matter in the end, the commenter was just an ass.
Oh they were a total dick.
