The 3 Signs You’re Being Gaslit (And What to Do About It)

Gaslighting is explored, defined as distorting someone's reality to question their truth and state of mind. It's distinguished from lying by its pattern of making someone accept only your version of truth, often to protect yourself. Internal signs of being gaslit include feeling confused after conversations, doubting yourself, and needing to document interactions. External signs involve conversational shifts from the other person's accountability to your sensitivity or reaction. Tools to combat gaslighting include asserting "I remember things differently" or "That wasn't my experience," without over-explaining. If you always need to be right, never apologize, and consider others irrational, you may be gaslighting others.
