Gaslighting: How a Narcissist Makes You Question Your Own Sanity

They don't just lie—they make you think you're losing your mind.

Gaslighting is when someone systematically distorts reality until you stop trusting it yourself. You remember what they said. They claim they never said it. You saw what they did. They say it wasn't like that. You feel hurt. They say you're too sensitive, making things up, that there's something wrong with your head.

And slowly, you start to doubt. Maybe I'm making it all up? Maybe I'm just too jealous? Maybe I can't take a joke? You lose trust in your memory, your feelings, your reality. And you become putty in their hands.
