[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posters who use the term “gaslight” for anything but complete agreement with what they are thinking/feeling, etc. [/quote]

"gaslight" "boundary" "narcissistic" and "passive aggressive" are FREQUENTLY misused in these threads.[/quote]

YES!!! Yes, yes, yes, yes!!! And they frequently misused/misunderstood in real life as well. [/quote]

+100!

Randomly diagnosing people like your mother or MIL in various ways even though you have zero qualifications or credentials to do so. You may [i]suspect[/i] your parent has NPD, but you're not equipped to provide a definitive diagnosis.[/quote]

This, but also just the complete misuse of what the word even means, regardless of formal diagnosis.  Examples:

"My DH said that he does not want to go to the Outer Banks this year."
"He is gaslighting you!"

"My MIL told me that she really does not like the way I prepare my bacon and would prefer something else."
"She is so passive-aggressive!"

"My SIL told me that she thinks our kids should get together next weekend and I can't because I am a working mom."
"Your SIL is a narcissist!"[/quote]
