In relationship nowadays people tends to abuse others psychologically by manipulating them into thinking that the way they see life or their actions and reaction to life's situation are not valid.
Gaslighting can be relatable in all relationships not only in romantic relationship. Realistically everyone in their different areas of life wants to have a feel of control but if not handle with caution the quest for being in charge can lead to gaslighting another.
With increasing awareness on mental health gaslighting should be taken as a topic of concern because it has different effect on our functionality like lack of self confidence,low self esteem, anxiety, self doubt and disbelief.
The reason I'm concern about this is that have actually suffered from it a bit though i stood up for myself.
One of the ways someone can gaslight another is by always blame shifting.i had experienced that in one of my relationship where i had to literally apologize for everything whether i was at fault or not,i was always shifting the blame at, i just saw that was unhealthy and i had to deal with it before it really got to me cause i some point i was just trying to impress or behave the way the person wanted whether i was satisfied or not which made me feel like i was loosing who i really feel i was.
There are other ways like body shaming someone and making it look like a joke, whistle blowing so another person will be dealt with and so many others .
To deal with gaslighters you should try to avoid them, don't argue with them,re strategize and just continue believing in yourself.
