    This is the best and simplest explanation of Gaslighting that I’ve ever seen.
    Well done.

      I actually posted the link to this video in the comments of another video about gaslighting from one of those “Trust me! I’m a Doctor! No really! I’m a Doctor, Doctor for real and for true!” channels because he went on and on for eleven minutes and just confused the issue.
      So I hope I haven’t unwittingly started a TH-cam’s war!

    Best explanation of the origin of the term, something which helps us to be more precise in our speech and therefore our thinking. Really appreciate it, thank you.

    This is so cruel. Yet so many people do it.

      Yes. That’s the nature of abuse unfortunately.

      What is also cruel is the misuse of the term

    Thank you. I was trying to explain gaslighting, but not doing a very good job, then we saw this. Great and simple explanation.

    It's important to note here that the gaslighting was intentiional and malicious. Sadly, we have evolved into a society that wants to label everyone who disagrees with us as gaslighters. The word is losing a lot of credibility.

      Exactly! It's waaaay overused.. or should I say... misused

    It started out as a stage play written by Patrick Hamilton in 1938.
    Then the 1940 film directed by Thorold Dickinson (starring Diana Wynyard).
    Then the 1944 film directed by George Cukor (starring Ingrid Bergman).

      Staring Ingrid Bergman (she won an Oscar) but also cruel Charles Boyer (nominated, didn’t win). The film also stares 18 year old Angela Lansbury (nominated for supporting actress), Joseph Cotten and Dame May Whitty.
      A superior movie ❤

    I never knew what this word meant until around 2020. Learned a lot of new English words since I temporarily left from my tribe.

    I wish people would use this term correctly, so often people say "You're trying to gaslight me." when someone merely disagrees with them.

    They will also make you believe that you are ugly and nobody would truly love you. They are the only one who will love you. I’ve seen this happen to people around me

    The original is 1940. It was remade in 1944. Your history is a little off but a good little video you made

    • @prismcounseling
      @prismcounseling  3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Correct. The original 1940 one is the British version, which in turn is based on the play. I used the 1944 film since it is more well known among American audiences.

    • @prismcounseling
      @prismcounseling  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yet again, yes I know. The original 1940 one is the British version, which in turn is based on the play. I used the 1944 film since it is more well known among American audiences.

    The term is misused and overused these days. People use it to describe simple, outright lying, misdirection, or to describe people who are insistent, or who don't agree with your views.
