Gaslighting is when a manipulative person tries to make you doubt your own judgement, memory and even sanity.
Gaslighting is extremely damaging. It can leave you physically damaged forever if good care is not taken, from having emotional break downs, panic attacks to you feeling quite insane, second guessing yourself all the time. Gaslighting can be very intense and it is often used by a lot of people, in day to day life with little longterm affect on us. Once you’ve experience the worse, you can recognize its use a lot more. It might take time as you strengthen your weak zones, but it is possible. Even in recovery, you can find yourself wondering if they did it purposely or they didn’t know the gravity of what they were doing.
It really can be destabilizing, you doubt even your perception. It affects your self esteem, makes you doubt yourself.Makes you feel like you are going crazy..You begin to feel inferior And not trust anyone which leads to isolation… you blame yourself for things and think it’s all in your head.
