Let’s talk about gaslighting.
Gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation where someone makes you question your own reality, memory, or feelings. Over time, it can leave you doubting yourself and feeling confused or “crazy”, when you are not.
Common signs of gaslighting:
➡️ They deny things you clearly remember.
➡️ They twist facts or change the story to make you feel wrong.
➡️ They tell you you’re “too sensitive” or “overreacting.”
➡️ You start apologizing often, even when you did nothing wrong.
➡️ You second-guess your own thoughts and feelings.
What to do if you think you’re being gaslit:
🖤 Trust your gut. Your feelings are valid.
🖤 Keep notes or screenshots of what’s said or done.
🖤 Talk to someone you trust: a friend, family member, or counselor.
🖤 Set boundaries or distance yourself from the person if you can.
You’re not overreacting. Gaslighting is real, and recognizing it is the first step toward taking your power back.
