Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation and emotional abuse where one person makes another doubt their own sanity, memories, perceptions, or judgment. It involves persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying. The term originates from the 1938 play "Gas Light" and its subsequent film adaptations.

Here's a breakdown of gaslighting:

How it works:

Undermining reality: The gaslighter denies or distorts the victim's experiences, making them question their own memory or understanding of events.
Shifting blame: The gaslighter blames the victim for their reactions or feelings, making them feel like they are the problem.
Isolation: The gaslighter may isolate the victim from friends and family, making them more dependent on the abuser.
Wearing down resistance: Over time, gaslighting can erode the victim's self-esteem and confidence, making them more vulnerable to the abuser's control.
Examples of gaslighting phrases:

"You're imagining things."
"You're too sensitive."
"You're always overreacting."
"I never said that."
"You're crazy."
Why gaslighting is harmful:

Gaslighting can cause significant psychological distress, leading to anxiety, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
It can make victims doubt their own judgment and abilities, making them more dependent on the abuser.
It can damage relationships with friends and family, as the victim may become isolated and withdrawn.
If you think you're being gaslit:

Trust your instincts: If something feels off, it probably is.
Talk to someone you trust: Share your experiences with a friend, family member, therapist, or support group.
Keep a journal: Documenting your experiences can help you see patterns and validate your feelings.
Seek professional help: A therapist can help you understand gaslighting and develop strategies for coping with it.
