Weaponized Innocence: The True Face of Gaslighting

I would like to offer an alternative definition of gaslighting.

Gaslighting is weaponized innocence with the agenda to drive you crazy by exchanging your truths and evidence with their covert lies, falsehood, and fabrication (and now for the most important part) all done in the most believable, plausibly deniable face possible (highly disguised motives).

Here’s proof in support of my definition.

Gaslighting doesn’t work when you presume them guilty or dishonest.

Gaslighting doesn’t work when you remove their presumption of innocence. (i.e. ignore their puppy dog eyes).

Gaslighting doesn’t work when you refuse to believe their denials, no matter how plausible.

Gaslighting doesn’t work when you choose to see nothing positive in their communication or their intentions.

Gaslighting doesn’t work when you refuse to believe you are dealing with an innocent individual.

What is faux innocence?

It is evil pretending to be good.

We can’t skip the morality here. Morality is indispensable to understanding the definition of innocence. Evil cannot be innocent. Only good can be. Please ponder this point deeply.
