tries to plant seeds of doubt within you, often making you doubt your memories, thought processes, or sanity. This manipulation is used to gain control over you, which often leaves you feeling confused, isolated, and questioning your reality. Gaslighting shapes in different forms, which include rejecting facts, altering information, or using selective exclusion. Hence, identifying and confronting gaslighting behaviour is essential in maintaining your emotional and mental well-being.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\" style=\"min-height:417px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:56% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-1024x1024.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Gaslighting\" class=\"wp-image-4728 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Image-1-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:32px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Signs_You_Have_Experienced_Gaslighting\"><\/span><strong>4 Signs You Have Experienced Gaslighting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Frequent_Apologies\"><\/span>1.0 <strong><em>Frequent Apologies<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I am sorry, I won&#8217;t do it again&#8221;, &#8220;I am sorry for hurting you&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Do you often find yourself frequently apologizing for things that aren&#8217;t your fault, or for expressing your desires or thoughts? This may be an indicator if you experience gaslighting. Gaslighters frequently influence you into feeling responsible for their actions or feelings, causing you to apologize unnecessarily to keep the peace or prevent disagreement. They would make you believe that your actions led them to distance. They would expect you to apologize to mend the cracks.<\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Questioning_Reality\"><\/span>2.0 <strong><em>Questioning Reality<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4730\" style=\"width:382px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-rdne-stock-project-6670051-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;You&#8217;re overreacting,&#8221; &#8220;That never happened,&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re imagining things&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>One of the hallmark signs of gaslighting is the inconsistent and contradictory reality. Gaslighting often begins subtly, with the gaslighter questioning your perceptions or memories. Gaslighters may provide conflicting information or deny previous statements and actions, leaving you in a perpetual state of confusion. They might also dismiss your feelings or experiences, making you doubt your reality. It pushes you into a loop of confusion. <\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"30_Self-Blaming\"><\/span><strong><em>3.0 Self-Blaming<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Maybe it is my fault&#8221;, &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t be left if I was more understanding&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Gaslighters generally shift blame onto other people, causing them to feel responsible for the gaslighter&#8217;s behavior or feelings. In that case, you may also voluntarily take the blame to avoid further conflicts and begin to feel that something may be wrong from your side. This absorbed blame and accusations may gradually turn into a self-blaming habit. You can be very harsh and self-critical on yourself over time. These might trigger emotions of guilt, humiliation, and low confidence in yourself.<\/p><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"40_Constant_Self-Doubt\"><\/span>4.0 <strong><em>Constant Self-Doubt<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Am I overreacting?&#8221;, &#8220;Maybe I should have been more patient&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Gaslighting often starts with the slow erosion of your confidence and self-esteem. Imagine constantly being blamed for the slightest inconvenience; it makes you lose self-confidence. You may not feel connected to yourself or others anymore. Even people or the slightest conflict can make you feel anxious or drained. <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\" style=\"min-height:336px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 51%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:32px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tips_To_Avoid_Being_Gaslighted\"><\/span>4 <strong>Tips To Avoid Being Gaslighted<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-683x1024.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Gaslighting\" class=\"wp-image-4729 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pexels-daffa-rayhan-zein-694458-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Believe_Your_Instincts\"><\/span>1.0 <strong><em>Believe Your Instincts<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6><p>If you sense something is not sitting well or taking up your energy in your relationship, try not to disregard your emotions.
