What Does \u2018Gaslighting\u2019 Mean?<\/h2>\n
El Gaslighting es una <\/b>forma de abuso emocional<\/b> donde se manipula a la parte maltratada para que dude de su <\/b>memoria propia<\/b> y empatizar con su agresor, que no sufre consecuencias reales por sus actos.<\/b><\/p>\n
Esencialmente, el t\u00e9rmino gaslighting engloba la extrema inseguridad en uno mismo causada por diversas t\u00e1cticas de manipulaci\u00f3n<\/a> that make you feel like you’re the one to blame.<\/p>\n La confusi\u00f3n interior que sientes se llama disonancia cognitiva. Se produce cuando el agresor niega tu sentido de la realidad y se niega a validar tus sentimientos.<\/p>\n Simply put, it’s your partner <\/i>hacerse la v\u00edctima<\/i><\/a> while you’re the one who’s hurting.<\/i><\/p>\n They cause you to feel guilt and shame because they’re unable to face themselves and take accountability for their actions.<\/p>\n Do not pity them. They don’t deserve the empathy they seek from you.<\/b> If you’re wondering why, buckle up because we’re about to tell you everything.<\/p>\n Luz de gas en <\/b>relaciones rom\u00e1nticas<\/b><\/a> se trata de aumentar su <\/b>duda de s\u00ed mismo<\/b> y haci\u00e9ndote sentir simpat\u00eda por tu agresor.<\/b><\/p>\n How, then, could you possibly know that it’s taking place?<\/i><\/p>\n Well, it’s not easy. You first need to educate yourself on the matter as thoroughly as you can.<\/p>\n As\u00ed que sigue leyendo para ver las se\u00f1ales de alarma que debes tener en cuenta y que son signos claros de gaslighting.<\/p>\n Imagine this type of situation. Your partner has repeatedly cheated on you and has shown clear signs that they’re unfaithful yet again. But, when you confront them about it, they blame YOU.<\/p>\n Esto se debe a que son conscientes de su propia culpabilidad, por lo que en lugar de admitirla, prefieren hacerte dudar de tu <\/b>propia cordura<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n Si tu pareja te ha dicho esto alguna vez, su objetivo era echarte la culpa a ti<\/a> all the while knowing perfectly well who’s responsible.<\/p>\n They want to invalidate your feelings and make you feel like you’re making a <\/b>gran cosa<\/b> out of something when that ‘something’ is clearly hurting you.<\/b><\/p>\n Este es un cl\u00e1sico t\u00e1ctica de manipulaci\u00f3n.<\/a> Te dicen directamente que eres t\u00fa quien causa problemas en la relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Then, you proceed to defend yourself all the while thinking to yourself ”What if they’re right?” Beware of such thoughts because that’s precisely the gaslighter’s goal.<\/b><\/p>\n If you happen to have mental health issues, you’re even more prone to being a victim of gaslighting. Since you already have inner struggles, it’s easier for them to add one more.<\/p>\n Entonces, tus sentimientos de indignidad se intensifican y empiezas a culparte a ti mismo. Cuando eso ocurra, espero que recuerdes mis palabras:<\/p>\n Eres suficientemente bueno. Eres digno. Y te mereces el mundo.<\/b><\/p>\n Al rogarte que dejes de culparles, te dicen una vez m\u00e1s que t\u00fa eres el culpable de perturbar la paz de la relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Instead of apologizing for hurting your feelings, they focus on their how’s and why’s.<\/b> Essentially, they start acting like they’re the victim, and not you.<\/p>\n Un narcisista a menudo te enfurecer\u00e1 de formas que uno apenas puede imaginar. Cuando le correspondes, tiene la habilidad de hacerte sentir como si t\u00fa hubieras empezado la pelea en primer lugar.<\/p>\n The blame is put onto you for ”lacking respect” for them even when they are clearly the one trying to control every aspect of your life.<\/i><\/p>\n Si hay algo que <\/b>narcisista<\/b> est\u00e1 dotado para ello, est\u00e1 consiguiendo evocarte sentimientos de culpa por sus propios horribles actos.<\/b><\/p>\n A menudo le dir\u00e1n que usted es el maltratador<\/a> hasta que finalmente empiezas a cuestionar esa posibilidad.<\/p>\n Al afirmar que tienen una buena relaci\u00f3n con todo el mundo menos contigo, completan con \u00e9xito su misi\u00f3n de echar la culpa a otros.<\/p>\n Muy pronto, autodesprecio<\/a> creeps up, and you start ruminating about why you’re the only one they have issues with. Are you really just dramatic?<\/p>\n No. S\u00f3lo te est\u00e1n dando luz de gas.<\/i><\/p>\n Esta es una de las formas m\u00e1s brutales de abuso emocional. Your partner makes you believe that what they feel for you is true love all the while convincing you that you’re not worthy of being loved by anyone.<\/b><\/p>\n And, since you desperately yearn for love, and think you’re not going to get it anywhere else, you become dependent on your abusive partner. You feel perdido en la vida<\/a>, like there is no way out\u2026 but there is!<\/p>\n Your gaslighter knows you’re kind and vulnerable, so they appeal to that side of you. They want to awaken your sympathies, which would excuse their bad behavior.<\/p>\n But, no. You aren’t supposed to offer anyone unconditional love. La \u00fanica persona que merece tu perd\u00f3n es la que tiene en cuenta tus sentimientos.<\/b><\/p>\n S\u00ed, la amistad tambi\u00e9n puede constituir una relaci\u00f3n t\u00f3xica. Los amigos a veces niegan su <\/i>punto de vista<\/i> and make you feel like you’re <\/i>exagerando<\/i> sobre algo que es tan claramente un <\/i>ataque personal<\/i> en su <\/i>autoestima<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n Para evitarlo, presta atenci\u00f3n a las siguientes frases que los \"gaslighters\" suelen utilizar en las amistades:<\/p>\n A friend who is aware that they’ve hurt your feelings but refuses to take accountability always tries to convince you that you’re overreacting.<\/p>\n Once again, they make you feel like you stepped into the role of a dramatic persona when, in reality, you’re just hurt, and your hurt goes unacknowledged by the one you really care about.<\/i><\/p>\n \u00bfSab\u00edas que se puede tener sentido del humor sin menospreciar a nadie?<\/i><\/p>\n But, that’s not how it usually goes… Your friend may prey on your insecurities in order to gain power, and once they destroy your self-confidence, they blame you for taking \u2018things seriously\u2026\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n Espero que sepas que alguien a quien realmente le importas cuidar\u00e1 de ti, no desencadenar\u00e1 los sentimientos que m\u00e1s temes.<\/p>\n Otra t\u00e1ctica de gaslighting es tratar de minimizar sus actos desestim\u00e1ndolos. Your abuser wants you to move on because, after all, it is only a ‘minor inconvenience.’<\/b><\/p>\n Remember \u2013 nada de lo que sientas es insignificante.<\/i> If you suffer through constant emotional abuse, don’t forget it, but rather take action to prevent it from happening ever again.<\/p>\n This is a classic. Your abuser makes it a habit to offend you, but they try to make you think that it’s nothing serious, and that you are blowing things out of proportion.<\/p>\n Well, you aren’t sensitive <\/b>\u2013<\/b> son hirientes.<\/b><\/p>\n \u00bfAlguna vez te has enfrentado a un amigo por lo que hizo, pero ha seguido negando tu versi\u00f3n de la historia?<\/i><\/p>\n Si poco a poco empiezas a cuestionar lo que has visto, incluso a pesar de estar plenamente convencido hace unos momentos, te est\u00e1n dando luz de gas.<\/p>\n Remember \u2013 when someone truly loves you, their objective won’t be self-defense, but rather helping a friend out.<\/b><\/p>\n Esta siempre ha sido una de sus frases favoritas de gaslighting. Te arruinan emocionalmente s\u00f3lo para tratarte como a un lun\u00e1tico <\/b>cuando los descubras<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n In such cases, don’t forget:<\/p>\n \u201cUna reacci\u00f3n anormal ante una situaci\u00f3n anormal es un comportamiento normal<\/i>.\u201d \u2013 Viktor Frankl<\/p>\n I’ve heard this one many times from a jealous friend. She didn’t want me to have other friends because she was lonely, so she tried to turn me against them.<\/p>\n But, sometimes, even when you’re aware of someone’s intentions, planting a seed of doubt is very dangerous<\/i>. Beware that their evil mission doesn’t succeed.<\/i><\/p>\n Reject anyone who doesn’t inspire kindness in you, and who doesn’t listen with joy to your stories about how much love you have for the people in your life.<\/b><\/p>\n It’s not uncommon for your abuser to provoke extreme reactions from you only to then accuse you of ruining your friendship.<\/p>\n Cuando sus acciones se vuelven transparentes, su \u00fanica opci\u00f3n es arreglarlo ech\u00e1ndote la culpa a ti y utilizando <\/b>el m\u00e9todo silencioso<\/b><\/a> para hacerte sentir culpable.<\/b><\/p>\n Pues NO eres negativo. Simplemente est\u00e1s siendo leal a s\u00ed mismo<\/a> y tratando de aligera tu pesado coraz\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n A veces, un gaslighter te ofender\u00e1 directamente s\u00f3lo para contradecir sus acciones diciendo que no se trata de ti en absoluto.<\/i><\/p>\n Distanciar\u00e1n el hecho de la parte perjudicada y te har\u00e1n sentir culpable por acusarles de algo que en realidad nunca hicieron (o eso quieren hacerte creer).<\/p>\n Here, your abuser doesn’t use blame-shifting, but they rather refuse to acknowledge their actions. Fingen ser los perjudicados haci\u00e9ndose los despistados.<\/b><\/p>\n This type of deliberate self-victimization has only one goal in mind \u2013 for you to offer them comfort and empathy when it should be the other way around. Don’t fall for it.<\/i><\/p>\n It may surprise you, but people are most often gaslighted by those closest to them \u2013 their parents.<\/p>\n When a family member is emotionally abusing you, it’s even harder to bear. Que te hagan cuestionar tu <\/b>propia realidad<\/b> s\u00f3lo se hace m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil porque te cuesta creer que abusar\u00edan de ti en primer lugar.<\/b><\/p>\n Pero, por desgracia, ocurre. Echa un vistazo a estas frases de gaslighting para reconocerlo en el futuro:<\/p>\n Su sentido de la realidad vuelve a ser cuestionado mediante una declaraci\u00f3n indirecta de amor. They don’t only say that they wouldn’t hurt you, but also that you hurt them by thinking so.<\/b><\/p>\n Here’s what I want you to remember:<\/p>\n It doesn’t matter how they feel. <\/i>Presta atenci\u00f3n<\/i> a tus propias emociones. Si te dicen que algo va mal y que tus padres est\u00e1n <\/i>invalidando<\/i> you, then that’s exactly what’s happening.<\/i><\/p>\n Respect isn’t magically handed over to you… it has to be earned. Los padres a menudo no se dan cuenta de esto, y lo exigen s\u00f3lo porque te han hecho existir.<\/i><\/p>\n Well, abusive parents, by any means, do NOT deserve to be treated nicely. So, don’t ever feel guilty if you gather the strength for a confrontation.<\/p>\n Comportamiento abusivo<\/b> es <\/b>comportamiento abusivo<\/b>aunque el autor sea un <\/b>amado<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n Los padres gaslighting te querr\u00e1n de todas las formas equivocadas, y luego se atrever\u00e1n a decirte que nadie te quiere m\u00e1s que ellos.<\/i><\/p>\n Don’t let them put ideas in your head. Don’t listen to their words, but rather, pay attention to their actions. They always reveal the most.<\/p>\n Los padres esperan que seas d\u00f3cil y obediente s\u00f3lo porque te han parido. As\u00ed que, incluso cuando est\u00e1n abusando claramente de ti, te culpan por no cumplir tu papel de ni\u00f1o perfecto.<\/b><\/p>\n Please know that it’s okay to stand up for yourself no matter who the person on the other side is. You are the most important person in your life (and those who actually care about you).<\/p>\n Jugar esta carta es tan com\u00fan que seguramente la reconocer\u00e1 en cuanto la vea. Cada vez que te enfades por el maltrato, te acusar\u00e1n de arruinarles el d\u00eda.<\/i><\/p>\n I hope you know that’s not the case. They are not the victim, YOU are. But… you don’t need to stay that way…<\/p>\n When you disobey them, parents will make you feel bad most of the time by mentioning every good thing they’ve done for you. That usually encompasses providing you with food and a roof over your head.<\/p>\n When that happens, know this \u2013 Cuando alguien te ama, har\u00e1 cosas por tu bien, NO para poder mencionarlo despu\u00e9s con el fin de <\/b>manipularte<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n Here, by using the pronoun ‘everyone,’ your parents basically exclude you from the rest of the world. The objective is to make you feel so alone that you actually start doubting the words you had uttered a few moments ago…<\/b><\/p>\n Sepa que esto no es m\u00e1s que una t\u00e1ctica de manipulaci\u00f3n dise\u00f1ada para evitar que siga explorando la verdad.<\/p>\n Conf\u00eda en tu <\/i>propia percepci\u00f3n, y <\/i>val\u00eddate<\/i><\/a>. If it hurts you, nobody else gets to decide that it doesn’t.<\/i><\/p>\n El maltratador utiliza frases de gaslighting como \u00e9sta para evitar enfrentarse tanto a ti como a s\u00ed mismo. They want to appear as the victim who loves you deeply despite what you’re doing to them.<\/b><\/p>\n Moreover, they want you to stay with them by convincing you that you are unlovable. This couldn’t be further from the truth… Por favor, nunca olvides que te mereces el mundo. As\u00ed que.., <\/i>s\u00e9 amable contigo mismo<\/i><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n This gaslighting tactic is called ‘whataboutism.’ Essentially, el agresor desv\u00eda el foco de la conversaci\u00f3n hacia algo que hiciste en el pasado.<\/b><\/p>\n Que fuera culpable o no es irrelevante en este caso. S\u00f3lo tienes que reconocer que su intenci\u00f3n es que su mala acci\u00f3n quede relegada a un segundo plano mientras que la tuya se convierte en el centro de atenci\u00f3n.<\/i><\/p>\n La principal caracter\u00edstica de una persona que sufre un trastorno narcisista de la personalidad es hacerse la v\u00edctima a la perfecci\u00f3n. A veces, te echan la culpa a ti, pero muy sutilmente.<\/p>\n When you point out their flaws, they instantly turn the suffering mode on. They want you to feel sorry for them instead of attacking them because consciously or subconsciously, they KNOW they’re the guilty one.<\/i><\/p>\n It depends on whether they’re aware of it or not.<\/i><\/p>\n A veces, creen de verdad que they’re always the victim<\/a>, and that the whole world is against them. Perhaps they aren’t even aware that they’re hurting you, and that’s why they get so defensive when you confront them.<\/p>\n Por otro lado, pueden ser plenamente conscientes de sus actos y sus consecuencias, pero su principal objetivo es tener todo el poder en sus manos.<\/p>\n Esencialmente, <\/b>narcisistas<\/b> o viven en la negaci\u00f3n o tienen tan baja <\/b>autoestima<\/b> que la \u00fanica manera de sentirse mejor consigo mismos es a trav\u00e9s de la manipulaci\u00f3n.<\/b><\/p>\n Nota: The level of awareness isn’t important. You don’t have to put up with anyone’s mistreatment no matter who they are. <\/i>C\u00e9ntrate en ti mismo<\/i><\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n It’s not easy, but not impossible either.<\/i><\/p>\n Narcissists and sociopaths use numerous manipulation tactics to make their victim feel like there’s nothing to flee from, but rather, they’re the ones that need to fix the situation.<\/p>\n But, since you’re here reading this, you possess enough awareness to recuperarse del abuso narcisista<\/a>. On the other hand, if you know someone who doesn’t, and yet is clearly manipulated, please reach out to them.<\/p>\n En cualquier caso, as\u00ed es como puedes afrontarlo:<\/p>\n You’ve already educated yourself on the most common gaslighting phrases, which might help you realize what you’re dealing with. However, you’ve only scratched the surface…<\/p>\n Profundizar en la naturaleza de este <\/b>maltrato psicol\u00f3gico<\/b>. Find out everything you can because that’s the first step in conquering it.<\/b><\/p>\n I highly recommend reading Dr. Robin Stern’s book called En <\/i>Efecto luz de gas<\/i>: C\u00f3mo detectar y sobrevivir a la manipulaci\u00f3n oculta que otros utilizan para controlar tu vida.<\/i><\/p>\n En \u00e9l encontrar\u00e1 todo lo que necesita saber sobre el gaslighting para superar el abuso<\/a> y defenderte en el futuro.<\/p>\n Tus pensamientos se confunden f\u00e1cilmente cuando te manipulan. Al minuto siguiente, puedes olvidar algo de lo que estabas tan seguro. Si quieres evitar que esto ocurra, c\u00f3mprate un diario.<\/i><\/p>\n Anota todas las experiencias que conectes con el gaslighting, para poder revisarlo todo m\u00e1s tarde y sacar tus propias conclusiones de la forma m\u00e1s objetiva posible. Adem\u00e1s, esto te ayudar\u00e1 a ganar paz interior<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, it’s hard to remain objective in this kind of situation. That’s why it’s so crucial to reach out to your <\/i>seres queridos<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n \u200bYou don’t have to go through this all alone. Find your support system. Rompe a llorar<\/a> if you must. Trust me… it will truly help you cura tu alma triste<\/a>.<\/p>\n You are aware that you’re not obligated to participate in any conversation if it harms your <\/i>salud mental<\/i>, aren’t you?<\/i><\/p>\n As\u00ed que, siempre que alguien te haga sentir mal, vete y protege tu paz<\/a>. I know you want to defend yourself, but try to remember that blame-shifting is merely a technique to divert you from the abusive situation you’re actually in.<\/p>\n This isn’t about self-defense. It’s about realizing what you’re currently experiencing, and deciding that you deserve much more than that.<\/b><\/p>\n If you’re unable to deal with this on your own or even with the help of your friends, then reach out to a <\/i>psicoterapeuta<\/i>. After all, when you’re undergoing abuse, that’s the best course of action to take.<\/i><\/p>\n You don’t have to mention it to anyone if you don’t want to. But, if you do, don’t let them convince you that therapy is shameful.<\/p>\n Su objetivo es cuidar de tu salud mental y ayudarte a llevar una una vida m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil y feliz<\/a>. No hay absolutamente nada degradante en ello.<\/p>\n Let’s take a moment. Think about the situation you are in. Have you realized what’s actually happening? Yes, you are in an ABUSIVE relationship with an <\/i>hombre emocionalmente inestable<\/i><\/a>\/...mujer. \u00bfEres consciente de la gravedad de tu situaci\u00f3n?<\/i><\/p>\n Don’t get me wrong. You are aware of it more than anyone. But, what I’m trying to say is that it’s high time to take action and descarta a tu agresor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fight for yourself. Don’t let anything make you stay. You are capable of building a life for yourself even if you start from scratch.<\/b><\/p>\n T\u00fa PUEDES hacerlo. Por favor, vive para ti<\/a>.<\/p>\n Espero que con la ayuda de estas frases de gaslighting, ahora por fin seas capaz de ver tu situaci\u00f3n con m\u00e1s claridad.<\/p>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa \"luz de gas\" en una relaci\u00f3n?<\/h2>\n
