Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic used to make someone question their own memories, perceptions, or sanity. To spot gaslighting, look for instances where someone is deliberately trying to confuse or deceive you. To stop gaslighting, you need to assert your reality, set boundaries, and seek support from trusted friends or professionals.

HOW TO SPOT IT!!
Gaslighting can take many forms, but some common examples include:

a. Denying events or actions that took place: "I never said that," "That never happened," "You must be remembering things wrong."
b. Shifting the conversation: Changing the subject or reframing events in a way that suits their agenda.
c. Making someone feel crazy: Constantly questioning the victim's memory, perceptions, or sanity.
d. Manipulating evidence: Planting false information, hiding or destroying evidence, or presenting a false reality to the victim.
e. Isolating the victim: Cutting them off from friends, family, or support systems, making it harder for the victim to validate their experiences.
f. Playing the victim: Portraying themselves as the victim in situations where they are actually the perpetrator.
g. Blaming the victim: Making the victim feel responsible for things that are not their fault.
