Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that involves manipulating someone into doubting their own perceptions and reality.
Examples of gaslighting behavior include denying something that was said or done, blaming the victim for the abuser's behavior, and using positive reinforcement to confuse the victim.
Gaslighting can have serious effects on mental health, including anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
If you suspect that you are being gaslit, it is important to trust your own perceptions and seek support from a trusted friend or therapist.
When responding to gaslighting, it is important to set boundaries and communicate clearly with the abuser.
It may also be necessary to remove yourself from the toxic relationship if the gaslighting behavior continues.
Remember that gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse and it is not your fault. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.
