IIs gaslighting real?

Do people really gaslight

[Bitter_Sweet94]

Yes, gaslighting is real, and people absolutely do it.

It’s when someone intentionally twists your reality to make you doubt your own memory, feelings, or sanity.

Not every disagreement or misunderstanding is gaslighting, but patterns like these are

* They deny things you clearly saw or heard.

* They make you feel “crazy” or “too sensitive.”

* They rewrite events to fit their narrative.

* They shift blame onto you even when they’re at fault.

* You start second guessing yourself constantly around them.

It’s a manipulation tactic, and it happens in relationships, families, friendships, and even workplaces.

Real gaslighting leaves you confused, unsure of yourself, and emotionally drained.

Healthy people don’t make you question your reality, they help you understand it.

Read the definition of gaslighting and when you are smart at least like a dog you will understand it and you will recognize it's very common manipulation tactic.

Can you tell me exactly what they are trying to manipulate me on? Like hiding my stuff and replacing it when im not around. It makes me double take and ask myself wait did I really lose it? But what are they trying to gain

[FreyaRed]

That you ask yourself it's their goal. It's the seed of doubts after that comes escalation

It happens all the time… And sometimes it’s hostile. Other times… it’s them trying to act like the victim and they are just the most well meaning well intending person in the world and all you want to do is stop them.

Of course it is!! Haven't you ever seen CNN or any of the other left wing "news" shows? It's all they do!!

It is what you want to be. It doesn't exist for me personally because I just carry on like nothing is happening. Don't dwell on the trivial games people play.

[MemeSupreme]
