Gaslighting

This topic was created in the Relationships forum by EtherealTraveler on Friday, September 21, 2018 and has 5 replies.
I just realized how frequently I'm seen as a target to be gaslighted and stuff IRL, do any of you experience this and if so how do you prevent/cope with it?

For reference, to gaslight means that someone is repeatedly telling a certain thing towards you for a sustained and long period of time, causing you to doubt yourself and is considered a form of emotional manipulation.

Never experienced that. Not sure what you mean here, someone doing it on purpose to you, manipulating you or it just results that way but isn't quite done on purpose? I've got no idea what example could be of something like that. I believe we all have brain for a reason - to use it, to question and doubt everything and anything. That doesn't mean to never believe anything you hear or see or read but to develop your own sense for logic and use it to determine what's right and what's wrong. That way no one can manipulate you about anything, it's all about your thinking process after all...
I meant as in people are doing it on purpose to me and making me doubt myself and therefore lowering my self esteem basically, it is on purpose as I'm the only one that received it but not anyone else
