Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic in which a person, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their own reality or sanity. Someone trying to gaslight you may: * tell blatant lies (to/about you, to/about others) * deny they ever said or did something, even though you have proof * make you question your own reality * use what is near and dear to you as ammunition * wear you down over time * throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you * use confusion to weaken you * project their own shortcomings or misdeeds onto you * try to align people against you * tell you or others that you are crazy * tell you everyone else is a liar Gaslighting only works when a victim isn’t aware of what’s going on. Once you become alert to the pattern, it will be easier to combat.
