Can anyone give a real life example of how they have been gaslighted?

I think a man I had met, Sen me as slightly over desperate, he ended what I'm not even sure was a relationship by saying.

If you need a back up, I'll send you some batteries.
I don't even use a vibrator.

What's the worst break up line you have had? He was not a back up anyway. I have been practically celibate for 6 years.
 
I'll skip to the second question for now and think on the first one. The worst breakup line I had came after a girlfriend proposed that we participate in a threeway relationship in which she dates someone else on the side. I politely refused this offer and she broke up with me saying that I didn't love her. After that colorful exchange she was right.

You gaslighted each other by the sounds of it.

I never said I wanted a three way relationship. I tried to break it off countless times. They just wanted the last word !
 
I think maybe your definition and the standard definition of "gaslighting" differ.
I know you are trying to be smart with me. So I will just agree with you and tell you also that I left school with no qualifications. I am a hermit with no job or hobby. There ! Feel better . Good!!!

Oh and I am also ugly, smelly, fat, am boring !
 
Oh! I get it. In that case you should have said "boy this is escalating quickly when all I did was try to relate my own stories to theirs".
You were thinking, oh this is another degenerate with no friends that has to come on a forum. Then you reply with a smartass reply to make them feel worse about themselves. Now you will either ignore me, tell me to get some batteries or get a job and I am a lazy good for nothing ass licker. Like everyone with the pet photos

When did you become a mind reader?
 
None of that is applicable to the way that I communicate with people, especially on this forum in particular. I came here at the peak of my depression when I was considering doing something dramatic to myself and instead opted to look for positivity here.

You posted asking about gaslighting and bad breakup lines so I related one in which a girl took advantage of me and was cheating on me. She then tried to gaslight me by requesting an open relationship in which she is allowed to cheat on me with some random with my blessing. I refused and got dumped because "I didn't love her enough".

And I think you misunderstood what I was saying as though it was in some way an insult against you. Unless you're Shannon from my past, you have no offense to take from my story.

Edit: I also felt a little gaslit by your response to my post, if I'm being completely candid with you.
 
Also, that's not a smartass remark. It's an honest question because that's the ONLY way you could possibly know what a complete stranger is thinkinyou answered other threads of

When did I become ?

It comes across in your mannerism. And I do apologise for my outburst but if you are female you might understand that being lured by a man then deterred ok get a handful of times can take its toll. I thought being female you may have a bit of concern? Instead you say see a quack? I have been! The man is stuck inside my head even after he has gone.

As a man I have been lured by untruthful women. This is a universal experience that I can relate to.

Okay, I'm sorry, but what the damn **** are you talking about? All I see here is you attacking other people, you gaslighting people, both here and in other threads. Maybe try TALKING to us instead of jumping to false accusations, judgements and attacks.

I am not attacking I am reacting to passive aggressive behaviour. I have had some snide remarks. Like go see a quack, that was an attack ! Not me, I simply responded to it. Can you paste back where I attacked you please?
