Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person causes someone to doubt their reality.
1
Gaslighters distort facts, deny evidence, and blame the victim to gain control over their perception.
2
“You're too sensitive.” “That never happened.” “You’re imagining things.” These phrases undermine trust in yourself.
3
Gaslighting exploits cognitive dissonance—our discomfort when reality clashes with someone else's narrative.
4
Victims often experience anxiety, confusion, low self-esteem, and even question their sanity over time.
5
Gaslighting is found in relationships, workplaces, politics, and even media. It thrives where power is abused.
6
Frequent self-doubt, always apologizing, and feeling like “the problem” are major red flags.
7
Validation, support systems, therapy, and education help survivors break free and heal.
