Everyday Use
Framing is one of those very under-appreciated concepts in our everyday lives — it can influence how we approach every situation, without us even realizing it. We are capable of gaslighting ourselves in convincing ourselves of a reality that may not in fact be correct, whether it's in thinking that people don't appreciate us, that we aren't productive enough, etc. It's important to recognize that often the best examples of gaslighting are what we do to ourselves.
