What's Gaslighting? (Individual, tribe, and societal gaslighting) - Dr. Ramani Durvasula..DoctorRamani --- Apr 22, 2019 ..you tube..Some comments.people posted.------------------------------------------ Paul Bangash2 months agoActually , gaslighting is a favourite trick of politicians, media , corporations , and psychos and knaves the world over..---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obi-wan Kenobi3 weeks agoWas a target of tribal gaslighting in family my whole life. "Oh come on..." was the refrain and "of course!" To any questioning of their sincerity. As if to imply "how dare you!" To my doubts about their motivations. It was family sport to psychologically abuse me in this way and became their bonding ritual. I finally had to cut all contact with them for my safety. Sick bastards.

Quoting 'Lulah'That didn't happen...And if it did, it wasn't that bad...And if it was, that's not a big deal...And if it is, that's not my fault...And if it was, I didn't mean it...And if I did...You deserved it... In my dysfunctional abusive family system those words though never directly said to me but the words spoken conveyed the above, there was also all the messages both spoken and unspoken I absorbed from my arrival into this world. Many years ago before I had my own family I spoke up about how my father treated me, my mother's ( these are not the exact words ) response was that my father was not at fault for how he treated as I was at fault for being born. I now understand that I was (not literally) tagged/labeled at birth to be the family scapegoat/target in my family system. ☹.I actually feel the word target is much more applicable. I have been both reading and hearing that word quite a lot when reading/listening to information about Narc Abuse I also prefer the word target over the word victim, I have used the term target practice for years with regards as to the way my family always projected their crap onto me... What I've posted below is from my It's A Funny Old World topic/thread --- I'll add if my parents hadn't made the decision to purchase a family home back when they did I don't know if I would have survived and still be around today,sadly there are many who were abused in their childhood who aren't. Sadly childhood abuse is still happening 😥.. Quoting 'Lulah' I am grateful more than anyone will ever know that at a young age ( the youngest of three at the time) my parents purchased a property we moved from a cramped house which at the time we only had access to part of,( half of the house is what I've been told) it was in the suburb of Oakleigh on Atherton Rd so I imagine it would have been a built-up area even back then. I now know that moving to the new house and having the freedom to muck about in a big backyard as well as wandering around the paddocks in the area tadpoling, building cubby huts in amongst the prickle bushes so much freedom, oh and I used to love making mud pies, apparently I would take them inside and ask my mum to cook them..If we hadn't moved from that cramped house I don't know if I would have gotten through the oppressive environment I grew up in whilst I didn't understand I know even as a young child I would have felt all the effects, it's unfortunate that as I got older I was more aware as to just how oppressive it always was and missed that innocence and freedom of my younger years.

June 1st was World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day -- The following is from the WNAAD - The World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day web page ..Why is narcissistic abuse awareness needed?..It’s a huge yet mostly invisible problem. According to studies between 1% and 6% of the population suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. This statistic doesn't include the other cluster B disorders. (Stinson et al, 2000). Psychologist, Martha Stout, says that 1 in 25 people are sociopaths, the equivalent of Antisocial personality disorder. If we use a conservative estimate of 4% and apply Sandra L. Brown’s (2010) estimate that each of these individuals will have relationships with approximately five partners across their lifetimes, the impact of this abuse is huge. Sandra Brown estimates 80.8 million people are affected in the US, a number which does not include the children of narcissists. In Australia, a startling one in four women experiences emotional abuse by their partner (Our Watch, 2015). And it pays to bear in mind that the narcissist or sociopath isn’t always a significant other, they could be a parent, child, friend or co-worker. Trying to calculate that number is near impossible, though undeniably huge. Yet there is no campaign, funding, or education specifically focused on the effects of narcissistic abuse or public pathology education. ..The term narcissist is frequently misunderstood and often misused ..Everyone can recall the key elements of the story of Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection. Then there is mainstream media always warning us about the rampant narcissism of the younger generation, a generation obsessed with attention-seeking selfies and social media. But an obsession with self and sense of grandiosity are just a couple of the nicer things that can be said about true narcissists. And, sadly, it is just the tip of the iceberg. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths (pathological individuals) will lie and manipulate, deny reality, and control a victim any way they can. Victims of narcissistic abuse are kept in a constant state of confusion, fueled by dizzying love one day and walking on eggshells the next. They are systematically isolated from friends and family. This behavior is cunningly calculated and designed to keep the narcissist’s fragile ego intact, while keeping their victim down. Victims often have no idea what is happening to them. It's easy to believe a pathological when they tell you it's all your fault, and they will tell you that, over and over. A narcissist doesn’t take responsibility for their actions and will blame everyone around them. Typically, they often attribute their own thoughts, feelings, and motivations to others, so they can shift the blame off themselves. When you’re blamed often enough you believe it, and victims can no longer see that the life they find themselves living is not a normal one. They lose all hope that things can ever be any different. A pathological's behavior can be so confusing, so subtle, so undermining and so effectively controlling that it can take years for a victim to wake up and understand that it’s not their fault. ..Not enough is documented about the effects of narcissistic abuse .. Some research exists on narcissism, yet very little research exists about the effects on the victims at the receiving end of narcissistic abuse. The internet is littered with support forums and people seeking answers, desperately trying to pick up the tattered pieces of themselves and rebuild their lives. While many mental health professionals have an understanding of the definition of narcissism, few truly understand what it does to the victim of the abuse. Narcissistic abuse can cause mental, cognitive and physical health issues for victims, which can last for years after they escape an abusive relationship. Many victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or complex PTSD and the road to recovery is long and difficult...No one should have to live like this ..The more people who are aware of narcissistic abuse, the more they can spot the warning signs and save themselves or those they love from the serious and debilitating effects of being in a relationship with a pathological individual. The problems for victims are made worse because too little is known and understood about narcissistic abuse at an institutional level. This means legislation, support services, law enforcement and court systems the world over struggle to recognize perpetrators and fall woefully short in their ability to protect the victims.The ongoing impact of narcissistic abuse on victims is similar to being a prisoner of war (Brown, 2016). It’s simply too big an issue to keep ignoring. We need to act now to stem the tide, to help provide victims with the knowledge to escape their narcissistic abusers, and hopefully prevent more victims falling prey to narcissists.SOURCES: Brown, Sandra L. "The Damage They Do |." Your Recovery Starts Here. N.p., 03 Dec. 2016. Web. 04 May 2017. Brown, Sandra L. "60 Million Persons in the US Negatively Affected by Someone Else’s Pathology." 60 Million Persons in the US Negatively Affected by Someone Else's Pathology |. N.p., 13 Oct. 2010. Web. 04 May 2017. Our Watch (2015). Let's change the story: Violence against women in Australia. Available at: gov/pubmed/18557663https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih...Narcissistic Abuse Is A Form Of Domestic Abuse 😥..It has only been the last two years I have come to understand and recognize that I grew up in a Narcissistic Abusive environment, it's unfortunate that Narcissistic Abuse and Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not recognized or understood by many in 2020. ..I hope the day comes to that the narrative changes about this type of damaging abuse and that the narrative about any kind of abuse changes and that narrative needs to come from those in the public eye. I personally am sick of the lip service so someone can get a vote at the ballot box...I want to give a shout out to all the services/workers/volunteers who are doing their best to support anyone affected by any kind of abuse most often on a tight budget.

A reminder: World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD) occurs on June 1st every year. Established in 2016, WNAAD is a growing global movement dedicated to raising the profile of narcissistic abuse, providing public pathology education, resources for survivors, and to effect policy change. I'm not the only one that has observed all the manipulative gaslighting and nastiness from so called experts,people in authority, politicians worldwide, world leaders, a percentage of citizens around the world, the msm as well as many social media platforms over the last two years. What I have observed with regards to both sides of the coin are those that are being horrid to their fellow human beings for their choices. This shit show, I believe, isn't over yet and the whole thing so far has been outrageous and all the shitty behaviour of many has profoundly affected many men, women, teenager's and children's mental health and well being worldwide.

The worst of the worst is an compassionate narcissist. Even the regular average mixed bag of narcissistic anti social behavioural traits disorders, one thing in common is social platforms, like a finger in the bum fit they choose to belong. Confucius warned us all well ahead of his time. Confucius said “man who goes to bed with itchy bottom will wake with smelly finger” Mado Mado, Tara xx
