/GAS-layt/
FIL: Isang anyo ng sikolohikal na manipulasyon kung saan ang isang tao ay sistematikong pinagdududa sa kanyang sariling memorya, persepsiyon, at katinuan.
EN: to gaslight
The official sport of toxic exes and manipulative bosses. It's when they do something wrong, but somehow, by the end of the conversation, you're the one apologizing. "Hindi, nag-o-overreact ka lang" or "I never said that, guni-guni mo lang 'yan" are its national anthems. It makes you question your own sanity until you feel like you're the 'sira' one.
From the 1938 play 'Gas Light' and its film adaptations, which became a popular psychological term in the 2010s.
A very modern and popular loanword, often used in conversations about psychology and relationships. It is conjugated using Filipino affixes, e.g., 'gini-gaslight', 'nag-gaslight'.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang papayag na i-gaslight ka niya; totoo ang naramdaman mo.
🇺🇸 Don't let him/her gaslight you; what you felt was real.
