Hi 👋
I’m not sure if I already posted this. If so, my apologies. This is probably a common question or topic on here but I was wondering if anyone could explain gaslighting to me?
I don’t want to be too specific but I’m reflecting on the relationship I have with my parents and some of the behaviors make me feel like this has either been done to me or I am doing it to myself. I am in this constant cycle of it isn’t that bad, I am making it too big, etc. Basically, a lot of doubt.
So if anyone could enlighten me about this, that’d be great.
Thank you
@JerryTheMinion22 Hey, sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Self-doubt is pretty common when you're being gaslighted, and even if you aren't, it doesn't make your emotions any less valid. It's great that you are working towards learning more about this!
I've linked a few forum posts below that people have made that have helpful definitions of gaslighting. You can also search 'gaslighting' in the Forum search bar and you'll get a bunch of other posts people have made about their experiences!
