That's not what gaslighting means, OP.
It's one of those terms people are so rabidly eager to use that any excuse will do. Look at what happened to 'reboot'.
Gaslighting is when people lie to you or try to convince you of something erroneous.
What is it ma'am?
Gaslighting comes from the movie Gaslight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)). It refers to the practice of lying and manipulating someone into questioning their own recollection of events and general memory in order to cause them to doubt their own sanity, mental faculties, or perception of reality. This is not gaslighting because you are not being lied to about events that have happened. You're being lied to to try and convince you to not do something that you should/would typically want to do for yourself. These are different things.
Thank you kindly
Gaslighting doesn't exist, you're just crazy.
