Gaslighting the Narcissist, a How-To Guide
My friends, there is a way to play a narcissist’s own dirty tricks back to them. One way is to go, hey, it never happened, or it didn’t happen that way. This is what they are saying to you to crazy make you, after all. When you do it back to them, they have no idea, that you are playing a game. The gaslighter will not really think, oh btw, I’m being gaslit. They do not know that you saying to them, why are you making such a big deal out of it, are ways to start gaslighting them back. I submit that some gaslighting is intentional and malicious. When you start to question your perceptions a lot, it is your gaslighter’s fault. Gaslighters do question the individuals’ perception of an event. Gaslighters love trivializing their victim’s feelings on top of that, since they like to make you feel like you aren’t good enough. Gaslighters make their victims confused, and you find yourself apologizing way more than necessary. Making excuses for your partner or parents is enabling them to do things to continue their program of gaslighting you. The gaslighter is deliberately making you crazy, often with malicious intent to put their behavior on repeat.
