What is gaslighting?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. People experiencing gaslighting often feel confused, anxious, and unable to trust themselves.The term gaslighting derives from the 1938 play and 1944 film Gaslight, in which a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she has a mental illness by dimming their gas-fueled lights and telling her she is hallucinating.
In this article, we look at common examples, signs, and causes of gaslighting. We also discuss how a person can respond to gaslighting and when to seek help.
Examples of gaslighting
Gaslighting often develops gradually, making it difficult for a person to detect. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, techniques a person may use to gaslight someone include:
- Countering: This describes a person questioning someone’s memories. They may say things such as, “you never remember things accurately,” or “are you sure? You have a bad memory.”
- Withholding: When someone withholds, they refuse to engage in a conversation. A person using this technique may pretend not to understand someone so that they do not have to respond to them. For example, they might say, “I do not know what you are talking about,” or “you are just trying to confuse me.”
- Trivializing: This occurs when a person belittles or disregards the other person’s feelings. They may accuse them of being too sensitive or of overreacting when they have valid concerns and feelings.
- Denial: Denial involves a person pretending to forget events or how they occurred. They may deny having said or done something or accuse someone of making things up.
- Diverting: With this technique, a person changes the focus of a discussion and questions the other person’s credibility instead. For example, they might say, “that is just another crazy idea you got from your friends.”
- Stereotyping: An article in the American Sociological Review states that a person using gaslighting techniques may intentionally use negative stereotypes of a person’s gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, or age to manipulate them. For example, they may tell a female that people will think she is irrational or crazy if she seeks help for abuse.
A person who is on the receiving end of this behavior is experiencing abuse.
Medical gaslighting
According to the CPTSD Foundation, medical gaslighting occurs when a doctor or medical professional dismisses or trivializes a person’s health concerns based on the assumption they are mentally ill. They may tell the person their symptoms are “in their head,” for example.A 2009 study found that doctors were twice as likely to attribute coronary heart disease symptoms in middle-aged women to mental health conditions than middle-aged men.
Racial gaslighting
According to an article in Politics, Group, and Identities, racial gaslighting occurs when people apply gaslighting techniques to a group of people based on race or ethnicity.For example, a person may deny that a specific group experiences discrimination despite evidence that says otherwise, or they might criticize civil rights activists for being too emotional to undermine their message.
Political gaslighting
An article in a forthcoming issue of Buffalo Law Review states that political gaslighting occurs when a political figure or group uses lies, denials, or manipulates information to control people.Examples include downplaying or hiding things their administration has done wrong, discrediting political opponents based on mental instability, or using controversy to divert attention from important events.
Institutional gaslighting
According to an article in the Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, institutional gaslighting can occur at a company or organization. The organization may deny or hide information, lie to employees about their rights, or portray whistle-blowers who uncover problems in an organization as incompetent or mentally ill.Signs of gaslighting
People on the receiving end of gaslighting often find it difficult to realize they are experiencing abuse. They may not question the abusive person’s behavior because they are in a position of authority, or because they feel reliant on them.The National Domestic Violence Hotline indicate that a person experiencing gaslighting may:
- feel confused and constantly second-guess themselves
- find it difficult to make simple decisions
- frequently question if they are too sensitive
- become withdrawn or unsociable
- constantly apologize to the abusive person
- defend the abusive person’s behavior
- lie to family and friends to avoid having to make excuses for them
- feel hopeless, joyless, worthless, or incompetent

Feel free to insult me personally. I roll with the punches .
you hail from one of the most rigorous medical schools in the world . don’t disgrace us by making irresponsible and unprofessional statements .
even as a moderator your knee jerk response was to censor . How low can you go ?
you should examine your own professional conduct and grow a pair of balls . Personal insults are soup du jour here in this forum .
And for fucks sakes go attend CME
It's not me to insult others personally. I was also taught to respect others. Also as a doctor I was taught in medical school to be compassionate and empathize with patients and practically every person. going around insulting people was not considered to be responsible and professional.
I have no issues with my professional conduct. And I don't think anyone here has any issue with it except you.
Take care bro, I know life must be stressful for you that's why you come here for your release and whatever you are doing here helps you de-stress. Hope you feel better soon.

Commentary: Even COVID-19 won’t stop Singapore’s penchant for queueing up for food
If Singapore’s foodie culture is so ingrained that we will endure long queues for our favourite dishes, we can channel it to keep our F&B industry afloat, says Karen Tee.SINGAPORE: After social media got wind of a former Crystal Jade chef who struck out on his own to start a Hong Kong-style wanton noodle store in a Yishun kopitiam, the not-so-surprising happened – people flocked to the stall, stoically braving hour-long queues and even rainy weather.
In the little red dot, this is a tale as old as time - from Shake Shack burgers to one-Michelin starred bak chor mee, bubble tea to Ikea meatballs. If food is our national passion, queueing for food is undoubtedly our national sport.
But with F&B establishments aplenty across the island, there will most certainly be other - and less crowded - places that offer an equally delectable dish. So why go to all this hassle?
QUEUES OF FOMO FOODIES
Call it old-school kiasu or millennial-style FOMO (fear of missing out). Perhaps it taps on our desire to score bragging rights by being among the first to post about a new hyped-up F&B place before it invariably loses its novelty.When colourfully-named American chain Eggslut opened its first Southeast Asian outlet at Scotts Square a few weeks ago, many rushed to be among the first to try its famous wobbly eggs on opening day.
The earliest diners were reportedly in the queue by 8am - three hours before the outlet even opened for business.
Fast forward to a few weeks later when I perked up at an acquaintance’s social media post on how the lines had dissipated and that it took her a mere 10 minutes to order a takeaway meal.
It appears that the FOMO foodies have moved on to something else - maybe those wanton noodles. Perhaps it is time for me to swing by to try those gooey egg sandwiches.
One thing is for sure: Those queues, however short-lived, appear to have a trickle-down effect that can last even after the lines are gone.
Would I be that curious about Eggslut if not for the initial queues? Probably not.
Yet, would I stop by the wanton noodle stall if I happened to be in the neighbourhood, now that I know it is run by a chef with a culinary pedigree? Probably.
UNDER THE RADAR CULINARY GEMS
Still, the beauty of Singapore is that we do not need to be queue-chasers to be in-the-know about food.We all have favourite haunts we would be loath to see appear on must-try foodie lists or at least one friend who clues us in on “secret” food destinations with reliably delicious chow sans the long lines.
Commentary: Plenty of fish in the sea? Seafood-loving Singapore may not have its fill in the future
The Big Read: Floundering in digital wave, older hawkers could call it quits - taking a piece of Singapore with them
There is also a certain cachet in being that person who “discovered” lesser-known places before they hit the big time.At this point, I would like to not-so-humblebrag that for more than a year, I have been
recommending the underrated modern Indian restaurant Thevar at Keong Saik Road to friends seeking a gastronomic treat.
While it had consistently garnered favourable reviews, it was not difficult to score a reservation, unlike other places with months-long waiting lists.
But now that Thevar has deservingly earned one Michelin star, a quick check on its reservations page shows seats are far harder to come by.
So if you discovered the place before everyone else did like me, now is the chance to score some foodie points, to post and remind everybody you were there first – before it got famous.
FILLED BELLIES AND FULL HEARTS
It is endearing to know people are passionate enough to not mind the wait to get exactly what they are craving for.The one-starred Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle stall at Crawford Lane has drawn long queues through all its years of operation - before the “Michelin Man” even glanced Singapore’s way - and continues today despite numerous stalls popping up with similar offerings.
Having patronised these competitor stalls before, they definitely help to satiate that craving when we cannot spare the time queuing. But nothing beats the original and it is most certainly among the best versions of bak chor mee in the country.
No doubt, there are probably few other nations who take food as seriously as Singapore.
This fierce devotion to food might be what keeps Singapore’s vibrant F&B industry going, through the prolonged uncertainty of pandemic-induced stop-and-go dining regulations and disinfection closures.
CHANNELING SINGAPORE’S FOODIE SPIRIT TO LESSER-KNOWN EATERIES
I was touched when I read a recent heart-warming report about Dignity Kitchen, a social enterprise food court that works with the disadvantaged and differently-abled. The establishment had been hard hit by recent changes to dine-in limits and had put up pictures of its empty venue on Facebook.The next day, (socially distanced) queues had begun to form as kind-hearted patrons showed up to fill their bellies and support the business.
It made me think about the F&B places in the once bustling Central Business District, reeling from the double whammy of default work-from-home arrangements and the two person dine-in rule.
Last Friday (Oct 1), as I strolled through the Marina Bay area around “happy hour”, most eateries were startlingly empty, with more staff than diners.
More disconcertingly, a recent Instagram video by local restaurateur-chef Willin Low showed a number of F&B outlets, in the same building as his CBD restaurant, that had shuttered as they were unable to outlast COVID-19 restrictions.
Concerned netizens have also shared the challenges faced by hawkers on social media, including on the Instagram account @wheretodapao which helps provide some online exposure. Hawkers in the CBD like Maxwell Food Centre have been particularly hard hit by the absence of working crowds.
How many more casualties will there be before this is over?
Perhaps now, more than ever, is the time to rally that enthusiastic foodie spirit - with a difference.
Instead of queuing at already Internet-famous places or ordering the same old thing from established international chains yet again, why not show some love to lesser-known places unique to Singapore that could use a boost if you can?
Who knows, you might just discover the next big thing, before the rest of the country catches on. How’s that for bragging rights?
And more importantly, you could play a role in helping a part of Singapore’s proud food heritage stay afloat during these tough times.

Studies confirm COVID-19 immunity from Pfizer vaccine wanes after 2 months
(CNN) Two real-world studies published Wednesday confirm that the immune protection offered by two doses of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine drops off after two months or so, although protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death remains strong.
The studies, from Israel and from Qatar and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, support arguments that even fully vaccinated people need to maintain precautions against infection.
One study from Israel covered 4,800 health care workers and showed antibody levels wane rapidly after two doses of vaccine "especially among men, among persons 65 years of age or older, and among persons with immunosuppression."
"We conducted this prospective longitudinal cohort study involving health care workers at Sheba Medical Center, a large tertiary medical center in Israel," Sheba's Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay and colleagues wrote.
The researchers noted that levels of so-called neutralizing antibodies -- the immune system's first line of defense against infection -- correlate with protection against infection, but for this study they studied only antibody levels.
"Published work about many vaccines, such as those against measles, mumps, and rubella, has shown a small decrease each year of 5 to 10% in the neutralizing antibody levels," they wrote. "We found that a significant and rapid decrease in humoral response to the BNT162b2 vaccine was observed within months after vaccination."
The study also indicated that immunity for people who get vaccinated after natural Covid-19 infection lasts longer. It's especially strong for people who recovered from infection and then got vaccinated, also. "Overall, the accumulating evidence from our study and others shows that long-term humoral response and vaccine effectiveness in previously infected persons were superior to that in recipients of two doses of vaccine," they wrote.
A second study from Qatar looked at actual infections among the highly vaccinated population of that small Gulf nation. People there mostly got Pfizer/BioNTech's vaccine, also known as BNT162b2.
"BNT162b2-induced protection against infection builds rapidly after the first dose, peaks in the first month after the second dose, and then gradually wanes in subsequent months," Laith Abu-Raddad of Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar and colleagues wrote. "The waning appears to accelerate after the fourth month, to reach a low level of approximately 20% in subsequent months," they added.
Nonetheless, protection against hospitalization and death stayed at above 90%, they said.
The waning protection may involve behavior, they noted. "Vaccinated persons presumably have a higher rate of social contact than unvaccinated persons and may also have lower adherence to safety measures," they wrote. "This behavior could reduce real-world effectiveness of the vaccine as compared with its biologic effectiveness, possibly explaining the waning of protection."
But it's a signal that countries should prepare for fresh surges of Covid-19. "These findings suggest that a large proportion of the vaccinated population could lose its protection against infection in the coming months, perhaps increasing the potential for new epidemic waves," they wrote.
Pfizer has been arguing that immunity from the first two doses of its vaccine begins to wear off after a few months. Last month, Pfizer won authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for booster doses of its vaccine for some six months after people finish their first two doses.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that people older than 65, people with conditions making them more susceptible to getting seriously ill with breakthrough infections, and people at high risk of infection such as health care workers and prison inmates get boosters.
Israel has been boosting its entire population and now says it will require people to have had a third shot to be considered fully vaccinated.
In the United States, more than 6 million people have received a third dose of vaccine and average the pace of booster shots is higher than the rate of people getting vaccinated for the first time, according to CDC data.
I do. As with anywhere in the developed world all physicians needs to have CME in order to continue practicing and renewing their licenses and memberships.
It is just the CMEs are in my specialty and field of work. Stuff you obviously have no idea or understanding about especially when you said I am an "opioid dealer". LOL!

you are held to higher standards. you start talking rubbish again and I will continue to call you out.
is that gaslighting ?

is that gaslighting ?
Like I said bro. I have no interest in quarreling with you. If you had an issue with what I said then call it out and counter why what I said is wrong and discuss and debate the issue. Not gaslight me. I also asked you to give me a refresher ie as an invitation for you to discuss the issue at hand but instead you went for personal attacks.
Looks like you dont understand the term gaslighting.
Gaslighting often develops gradually, making it difficult for a person to detect. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, techniques a person may use to gaslight someone include:
- Countering: This describes a person questioning someone’s memories. They may say things such as, “you never remember things accurately,” or “are you sure? You have a bad memory.” - You suggested that 5 years of medical school in NUS is wasted on me. I think it is something like countering. You also keep telling me go attend CME insinuating I am lacking.
- Withholding: When someone withholds, they refuse to engage in a conversation. A person using this technique may pretend not to understand someone so that they do not have to respond to them. For example, they might say, “I do not know what you are talking about,” or “you are just trying to confuse me.” - you went for personal attack instead of discussing the issue you disagreed with.
- Trivializing: This occurs when a person belittles or disregards the other person’s feelings. They may accuse them of being too sensitive or of overreacting when they have valid concerns and feelings. - oh this one you did lots, you know lah , and evidence is all there. I dont want to repeat lah.
- Denial: Denial involves a person pretending to forget events or how they occurred. They may deny having said or done something or accuse someone of making things up.
- Diverting: With this technique, a person changes the focus of a discussion and questions the other person’s credibility instead. For example, they might say, “that is just another crazy idea you got from your friends.” - I think you did this too insinuating that what I wrote was crazy stuff I got from the anti vaxxers. LOL! I am not an anti vaxxer lah. I do support vaccines.
- Stereotyping: An article in the American Sociological Review states that a person using gaslighting techniques may intentionally use negative stereotypes of a person’s gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, or age to manipulate them. For example, they may tell a female that people will think she is irrational or crazy if she seeks help for abuse. - oh lots of insults about Canadians, and white male sexual organs.
Aiyah take it easy lah.
Like I said I have no desire or interest in quareling with you. And I hope we can maintain cordial conversation going forward. I am sure in real life you are not the way you are here in the forum.

So I did a search.

My team and I take care of their PR stuff. Whenever a new drug comes up, they will pour money into its publicity, under strict guidelines of course. So doing PR work for pharmas is not easy, but it pays well because their pockets are deep.
@nayr69sg kudos to you for getting this info outta dredd. I also got my Ahhaa.. no wonder moment ! lol..........
That aside if you still can't see dredd & porcaputtana are either the same team or same person.. it's easy one use wifi one use phone line to register account here it would show it's not the 'same' person. But their agendas is the same. It's all about vaccinations and medicines and one pretend to be or act good guy the other bad guy lol......... One argues the other will appear, always ! lol..........
So nowadays when you express negative views on big pharmacies and vaccines and medicine he/they will have to discredit you and hammer you hard it's their job. But you have a life and family and conscience, they only protecting their deep pockets pharmacies lol.............
But they're the same retard/s they talk to @tobelightlight all the time when they didn't even realized they're blocked by him long ago hence he never sees or ever reply to them no matter how they insult or ridicule him and their ego grows /rofl........
Like he said b4 if there's a vote for the best behaved forummer you are and i 100% agreed too when you can waste so much time on ginfreely trying to get her or now them to agree to be civilized lol........... You're throwing pearls b4 swine bro...... Also how can the mofo not understand what's gaslighting lol........
I don't think they are the same. I also checked with Sam to use the clone finder. Nothing.
They are separate people. I also believe that porcaputtana is a real dr. Actually regarding gaslighting I frankly did not know what this was until recently when many drs complained that Tyler Shandro the Health Minister was gaslighting drs. So it is not something that is well known in SG.
I try my best to be well behaved. Thank you.
