    What Is Gaslighting?: You'Re Not Alone

    Uploaded by

    Maikon Stephany
    This document defines gaslighting and provides signs that someone may be experiencing it. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation where a person makes a victim question their own reality, experiences, and sense of self. It works by subtly altering a victim's perceptions of events through persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying. The document lists common behaviors of gaslighters, such as constantly denying things they said, questioning the victim's memory and perception, and making the victim feel as though they are "crazy" or at fault. It suggests that if a person finds themselves frequently apologizing, lying to avoid conflict, or wondering if they are a "good enough" partner, they may be experiencing gaslighting abuse.
