Welcome to authentic mental health
Gaslighting is a tactic used by somebody to gain more power over a person and make that person
question their own sanity
Gaslighting makes a person question their own thoughts and feelings
Gaslighting is all about control and
controlling someone
gaslighting happens to many people around the world every
single day and most of those people have never even
Heard of the term gas lighting before and they don't even know they are a victim of it
Gas lighting is commonly used by dictators
abusers cult leaders and
Narcissists gas lighting is often done slowly
over time so the person doesn't even realize how much they are being brainwashed and
Manipulated here are eleven warning signs of gas lighting
Number one, they tell blatant lies
You know, it's a lie, but they are looking at you in your eyes with a straight face
Telling you a lie, even if you have Rufe and you question them about it
They never ever back down or change their story
They try and convince you that the lie is true and in the end you start to
Second-guess yourself and you start to believe the lie
You was told number two they use what you love as ammunition
For example, if you have kids they will use that
Against you they will tell you things like you shouldn't have had children
You're not a fit parent or that the children would be much better off without you
they will attack anything you love and they will attack the very call and
Foundation of your being number three, they deflect blame
Onto you when you ask a gas lighter a question or call them out on something. They may change the conversation
Completely by asking you a question
instead of responding to the question you ask them they may
Blatantly lie about the situation and say things like you're making this up or this never happened
Number four their actions don't match their words
When you think someone is gaslighting you look at what they are doing rather than what they are saying
what they say means
Absolutely, nothing. It's all talk. What they are doing is the issue
Number five they wear you down over time
gas lighting is done gradually a lie here a lie there a snide comment here or
Snide comment there, but then all of a sudden out of nowhere, it's happening all the time. Even the most
Self-aware people can be sucked into gas lighting
That's how effective it really is number six
Distraction for example if they are cheating on you they will turn and twist it on
To you they will accuse you of doing it they do this
So you have to start defending yourself and you become
Distracted from what they are doing to you
Number seven they confuse you
Gaslight has no
Confusion weakens people and that is their main goal
they want you to be constantly confused and
Constantly question everything. This makes it so much easier for them to Gaslight
You number eight they tell you or others that you are crazy
This is one of the most effective tools gas lighters use because it's dismissive they know full
Well if you or others
question your sanity
People won't believe you if you tell others about the gas lighter
Number nine they tell you
Everybody is a liar. They tell you your family your friends the
Media are liars
This again is another tactic used to question your own sanity
They do this so you only come to them for the correct
Information which of course is a lie and isn't correct at all number 10
Minimizing your thoughts and feelings
They do this to gain power over you they may say things like calm down
Why are you so sensitive or you're overreacting?
all of these things minimize how you're feeling and how you think
number eleven denying any wrongdoing
whatsoever
They deny they did anything wrong. They never ever take
Responsibility this leaves you confused and frustrated as they never ever
Acknowledge the pain they have caused others
they make it practically impossible for other people to move on or
Heal, those are eleven warning signs of gas lighting
