Still rampant manipulation, though.
Comment on Is my girlfriend gaslighting me?

My question is, am I really responsible if someone kidnaps her between getting off the Uber and getting into our apartment complex?
Only if you were involved in the kidnapping, like paying them to do it.
Is she trying to guilt trip me into thinkg her anger is justified or am I really a horrible, kidnap-facillitating bad person for missing a few texts?
She is trying to guilt trip you for missing her text by using emotionally ever the top hyperbole which is not gaslighting. Gaslighting requires intentionally lying about something that did not happen to make you question your own experience.

Gaslighting is not a level, just a different technique. It can be done at varying levels of severity.

Agreed it’s just a different technique, but I’d suggest some techniques are more objectionable than others- both of these are on about that same tier.

Reading this I’m not sure I’d fault him even if that were the case.
