[quote=Anonymous]It can be, but I don’t think it’s gaslighting in this situation. A better example is cutting down and making fun of your partner in front of others, and when they get upset saying “I was just joking!” In your scenario it sounds like Person 1 was really concerned over the call, tried to express their feelings, and Person 2 made it all about themselves. So to cover up feeling dismissed, Person 1 pretended they were joking. Person 2 sounds like a jerk, and should have made the call themselves if it was that important. But it’s hard to tell without context. Big difference between, say, Person 1 calling to make a doctors appointment for 2, or 1 calling to end things with their affair partner. But just from what you provided, no, it doesn’t sound like gaslighting. [/quote]
