In general, I think it’s used to turn the abused person into the guilty party. Excepting the cases where gaslighting is being used to confuse the person about why they’re hurt it usually comes from a place of not understanding. Which is forgiveable. But choosing not to learn (or stop doing) whatever is hurting them isn’t. Any time a person says “you’re too sensitive” they just look a stupid, selfish jackass.

    Wow, nice blanket statement.

    Or maybe you take everything personally, or with the worst possible interpretation - assuming intent without verifying.

    People like that are tiresome.

      Do you think there are any people that take everything with the worst possible interpretation? 🤔
