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

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
