In order to effectively gaslight someone, you have be in a position of authority or wield some other form of power over them. They have to need something vital from you (i.e., sustenance, safety, financial security, community, career advancement, or just love). You can’t walk up to some random stranger on the street and start gaslighting them. They will laugh in your face.
I also looked at articles from based on gaslighting in personal relationships.
There are three tendencies that will pull you into a gaslighting exchange. These tendencies are the need to be right, the need to be understood and the need for approval. Additionally, certain traits, such as being empathic, being a caretaker, needing to see your partner in a positive light, and being a “people pleaser,” will make you more susceptible.
It seems as though over socialized people / some liberals are finely tuned and sensitive, to the current of other people's opinion. It makes them amazing at, well, socializing and spreading ideas. They create discussion groups, they entertain people. They are agreeable, high in empathy, like to be seen as altruistic. Social status is more important to them than truth.
They also seem to lack independence. They are codependent on everyone else for everything. From food, water, shelter, to options and decisions and life direction.
This does seem to correlate with the liberal mind, the liberal values.
So many times I have spoken to normies and they can't answer simple questions or requests until they check with all their friends or 'experts'.
They also don't want to be accountable if the wrong decision is made. So they like to difuse responsibility.
I have watched the most entertaining in-group organizational phrases and ideas that magically forgive them all for their blunders without really accepting blame or responsibility.
This group conformity is also very evident in non- European cultures, but I wonder if there is a different origin for it.
And of course, there is great conformity in small towns (traditionally seem as conservative).
