Gaslighters manipulate you in such a way that you begin to doubt your own reality and sanity. How to heal from this type of abuse, according to a clinical psychologist:

Have you grown uncertain of yourself? Confused? Afraid to speak up? Take a look around and consider whether a particular person in your life is encouraging these thoughts and feelings. If so, they might be signs of that person gaslighting you. That is, the person might be purposefully trying to get you to doubt your own sanity by, for example, persistently lying, denying things they’ve said, and acting in ways that contradict what they’ve said.

It can also help to be alert for someone who repeatedly gives you feedback that shows little understanding of, or caring for, you. When truly supportive people offer feedback, they generally do so from a perspective of seeing you positively, and also sometimes noting areas where you might improve.

Gaslight

Do you mean the Incumbent is a 'gaslighter'? He must be, and a good one. He got 65 million fanatics.

Some people’s realities are delusional and anyone that challenges it is then an abuser? Their is always two sides to the coin and story. Gaslighting is a real thing and not everyone’s reality is healthy or same in relation to another

Abuse is abuse, harm is harm, bad is bad. Yes, there are mental illnesses, but we humans have to learn how to be humans, reaching our potential to do good, which has no limits, as opposed to allow ourselves to be let loose, out of control with harmful actions, for self or others.

Need to push this to be publicize in this Bation, because that's what the GOO has done to the people supporting IMPOTUS

Buttigieg on poverty: 'People are not getting paid enough'“I know you’re only ever supposed to say ‘middle class’ and not ‘poor’ in politics, but we’ve got to talk about poverty in this country.” Pete Buttigieg says the biggest problem in the US economy is that 'people are not getting paid enough.' DemDebate I agree. Give me a raise Pete is right. We are not at full employment until wages rise. We have too many people working too many jobs at the same time to feed families and yet they remain in poverty. We are not a stable Nation until our households are not hungry. Beans!
