Gaslighting: How To Spot Hidden Signs Of Being Manipulated

[@Sirpatpat]

I'm half way through this video and I've been saying out loud "YUP, this is exactly what my ex did". This is also helpful because I've learned so much from that experience, I begin to call it out to people when it happens live and they will deny it vehemently. This was educational and very helpful, thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

Please find better videos about narcissistic abuse from normal people like Dr Ramani. This video is based on CBT and CBT itself is gaslighting and narcissistic abuse. In his social anxiety video this same channel owner tells us that all social situations should be entered with super confidence - keeping this gaslighting information hidden from the socially anxious. This way he is telling to socially anxious that feeling something is off about someone who gaslight them is abnormality and sickness.

My mother pregaslit me so any relationship I’m in now they don’t even have to try to gaslight me to doubt myself! Thanks mom!😊

[@betsybarilla3752]

Pregaslit?? What did you mean to say?

[@calebhogan590]

@@betsybarilla3752 as in I was preemptively gaslit. My mother deliberately wore down my confidence that people don't even have to have the objective of gaslighting me for me to be gaslit by them

Plus when you seek official medical help, CBT like this video will tell you that toxic people do not exist and that your thoughts are problem, that you are perceiving slights where there are none.

Two things about this video: 1. A person can gaslight other without an evil purpose, they just don´t know how harmful they are, you just have to correct them and explain why is hurtful. 2. There is a type of gaslighting when the partner behaves as victim to invent sotries that didn´t exist and put blame in other person.

Very true

One protection from gas lighting would be if you are a psychopath or sociopath. Lack of emotions, makes it impossible to gaslight you. If you have no ability to feel guilt or remorse, it can’t possibly work.

I have a "friend" who does this all the time. It took me to get away completely to reset myself and now i know what she's doing. It's still difficilt though. It caused permanent damage mentally so please be careful. Please be careful

Im a pro at picking this up its easy best thing you can do is tell them that you know what their doing yes putting you in two minds ,yes i got away from this guy , its sad no one belived me its alright though yes the damage is real cause recovery is real ,yet when you see it you cant un see it ,be strong if you are going to court especially family court because it will seriously hurt you an your case . Be strong this was the first 4 years of my life recovery has been awesome hard as well , our laws arent as advanced as we would like cause its not under the spectrum of family violence ,this video i lived for many years it still happens i just hang up now.

[@wellnesslenses]

Glad you found our videos helpful

[@hoggemaog9760]

someone tried to do this to me and it made me angry. i could never stay in contact with someone doing this id rather die alone. these people are mutants, there brains did not develop the right way. they are like bacteria they cause harm, and (mental) illness in people. the world would be a better place without them.

[@ranc1977]

If you realized that they were doing - they are unsuccessful psychopaths. The successful ones - make you feel ashamed and guilty one. Like politicians or marketing or car salesmen or bankers.

[@rexluongo6470]

Also gives you immunity to psycho babble and attempts at manipulation.

[@ranc1977]

Such as CBT explanations of social anxiety.

One may be wrong about something but may be unwilling to admit fault due to any number of reasons. IE; SHAME, ANGER, JEALOUSY. are just a few reasons one might accuse another of "Gaslighting" What if one were referring to real gas lighters in the 18th century? Why do we as a nation allow the definition of words to be changed?

[@tommythomason6187]

It's tough on the confidence to be a young person, manipulated and Gaslighted by a Narcissist. When you are young, you subconsciously are aware that you don't know squat, and here's this powerful person, telling you that you are imagining his transgressions, that it is all in your mind. You can be easily intimidated by powerful individuals, more sure of themselves, when you are a kid. I think it'd stand to reason that, as a grown adult, one would remain suspicious about what is really going on, each time he finds himself in similar situations that just feel wrong, since those doubts were placed there at a young age, by an emotionally abusive person.

You are describing AcoA Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics - struggles with maintaining interpersonal relationships - struggles with codependency - impulsive or dangerous behaviors - anxiety and hypervigilance - fear of abandonment - conflict avoidance/fear of conflict - constantly seeking approval - struggles with authority figures - poor communication - struggles with emotional regulation - poor self-esteem and self-image, or constantly feeling "different"

[@lauravela1281]

So sad and evil 💔

[@ranc1977]

Like CBT.

[@El_payaso2006]

Jer,a?

[@OddDude21]

How do I know if I'm the gaslighter or not? I'm going crazy thinking I'm making things up and questioning if Im the manipulator

[@ranc1977]

Well are you? Are you openly anti social? Are you a serial killer? Do you have hidden agenda to harm other people? Do you have hidden goals to hurt and create damage to the others?

[@ttgsttgs9497]

It went so far that my "friend" called me schizophrenic and that I'm only imagining things

[@ranc1977]

In your social anxiety video you said, and I quote "Where you confidently enter any social situation with a calm mind and heart" That is gaslighting of socially anxious. You tell them that their social anxiety is being over sensitive and that all people are healthy and sane and that gaslighting does not exist. Social anxiety is ability to detect gaslighting and you present CBT misinformation that social anxiety is just being to sensitive.

It was interesting to hear the explanation of Gaslighting it was extremely helpful to hear strategies to take back control.
