TOOLS FOR GASLIGHTING
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of gaslighting is “the act or practice of grossly misleading someone, especially for one’s own advantage.”
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation and type of abuse that makes a person question their own reasoning and sanity.
TOOLS FOR NARCISSISM
The Mayo Clinic defines NPD as “a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.” People with NPD tend to have a distorted self-image and are intensely preoccupied with themselves, which adds to that lack of empathy
NARRATIVES & DISTORTIONS
Personal narratives, then, represent a person's attempt to make sense of concrete events and experiences within the cultural narratives and discourses available to them, while maintaining characteristics and experiences unique to the individual (Sandberg 2013). Incorporating these cultural narratives of masculinity and femininity into personal narratives is one way people perform gender.
