Gaslighting is mind control used by abusers to have you question reality. It is subtle, happens slowly over time. Most people recognize this tactic by cult leaders and dictators but it is commonly used by less obvious abusers. Some gaslighters learn the technique from a parent. Gaslighting may be used by a parent to keep a child quiet about abuse/neglect at home. If you feel guilt about things that aren’t your fault & are being isolated from family & friends equals gaslighting. Listen for clues, “I didn’t say that,” “You’re too sensitive,” “You just saw your friend, stay home,” “Your mother really has a problem with me.” Gaslighters tell you others are out to get them & they are competitive with people. If you know there will be pay back for not obeying them, you are being gaslighted. See this short video on the 10 Signs You Are Being Manipulated.
