Any logical or sane individual will feel frustration when confronted with gas lighting. It is only human to become angry when one is surrounded by lies. It is important to properly be able to respond to gas lighting without losing one’s cool. This is the motive of the perpetrator and it is important not to become angry or misused in these cases.
