Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
fellow GAW peeps am I a gaslighting motherfucker? asking for myself bc I want to know. Had some irl drama and need some perspective
please feel free to let anything out and remain my friend or enemy idc
Just need an honest take.
No wouldn't call you a gas lighter. I feel that term gets thrown around a lot when people's feelings get hurt. Or to add some umph to there words so they can feel a little something
Just keep praying and asking God to continue to refine you and the truth he gives you to share. Never stop seeking to grow :)
God bless you fren
Thank u slechta! I always forget the numbers on your name when trying to find u for something, lol. Anon was in a general chat few days ago talking about having heart surgery and I wanted to @ u for prayer but couldn't find. Anyways yea it's a clichè term by now but I just wanted to be sure I'm not overbearing in some way, ik I have weak areas in my walk still. Will keep praying! ty again <3
Well thanks for thinking of me. Just PMd you so it would be saved in an easier location.
Yes definitely a cliche term.
Yes just seek to learn and grow on a personal level in each dialogue you have. I find there is always some way I can grow in every discussion. Keep shining that light fren. It's a blessing to be here with you and I look forward to growing together through Christ. Love you
Love you back, thx, I wish this site had a "frens list" feature lol
Growing in Christ, together onward! o7
did someone get banned replying to this? I promise this wasn't shill bait LOL
Are you gaslighting me with this response 🤣🤣😉
Only being silly now 😁😎🤗🐸
Not you, someone got deleted in here and I just want to know what they said lol :p
Oh my bad I was just trying to be silly because you got accused of gaslighting so I was just having fun with that and saying are you gaslighting me Haha sorry it didn't come off very clear 😜🫂
I’ve had many narcissists and sociopaths in my life. I can confirm…YOU are NOT one of them!!!! I can spot a Gaslighter a mile away and you’re not one of them. 😂😂😂
Have a great day!

Gaslighting is when somebody tells you to your face a bold face, lie, hoping that you’re gullible enough to believe what they’re saying, even though you know the truth.
Basically, MSM news - on a grand scale!
Individually, it’s a little bit more difficult to identify, unless it’s some thing that you personally experienced - long term. It’s very damaging to a persons psyche, and breaking free from a narcissistic or sociopathic relationship is very difficult. These people are generally family members, or a very close friend. Severing those ties is very hurtful, but in the long run - is in a persons, best interest.
A perfect example of a Gaslighter, is Satan in the garden of Eden. He was telling eve if she ate the apple, she would be like God. He’s been doing it ever since. The father of all lies! But the only way to really know the truth, is to study God’s word. Then you can spot the lie so much easier.
Thanks for the response. Accidentally deleted my response above. Sorry. Yeah I'm familiar with what the term is. Was just curious how you personally go about identifying these things. Appreciate your response. have a blessed day
Thank you fren <3 I don't know much about psychology stuff so it made me pause everything to evaluate. Glad to know from someone who knows! & idk what person downvoted you as he has been deleted
Probably was a gaslighting motherfucker in here LMAO
Yes 🙌
They HATE being called out! 😂😂😂
Just scanned the first page of your profile, you are good dude. You are going to rub a bunch of people the wrong way IRL, just stay strong and true to yourself. We are a rowdy subset of humans to be congregating here to begin with.
Awesome, thx for the time <3 Yea it's a wild bunch on here but that's probably typical in free thinking groups, not herd mentality like the people we need to wake from their stupors. BUT I can say we have a pretty good decorum here despite the range of views & passions behind them
