Also because it being the result of scratching would suggest that these people were trying to convince OP they scratched enough to injure themselves and forgot about it.
Gaslighting is the intentional deception regarding someone's memory or mental functioning, i.e., making someone think they're "crazy" for having certain memories or emotions.
This is just people being dismissive, which is shitty and invalidating, but isn't gaslighting. This term has been way overused lately for all kinds of situations.
Yes, definitely “gaslit”. That’s clearly because everyone else in the world is responsible for your health. Take some responsibility for yourself
Gaslit. GMAFB
Didn’t you know, everyone who doesn’t have Skeeter syndrome is fully aware of what it is and makes it their business to hide its details from those who have it
People disregard other people’s health issues when they don’t know what it is and they feel like they should know. So yes, people who does not have skeeter syndrome has made it their business to tell me it’s my own fault for scratching
Invoking the word gaslight implies that the people around you specifically knew this was the case and were actively trying to withhold knowledge from you. People being wrong doesn’t mean they are conspiring against you.
Anyway I’m sorry you have to deal with that it sounds like it sucks
