In this blog I am going to discuss about how gas lighting can destroy our mental health.(This blog is related to advance dark psychology and human behaviour so try to read full to understand more about yourself.)Many people are unaware that they are being gaslighted, despite the fact that it is one of the most harmful types of emotional abuse. You gradually begin to mistrust your own memory, lose faith in yourself, and grow more reliant on the manipulator when you begin to believe in gaslighting.
What Is Gaslighting?
A psychological manipulation technique known as “gaslighting” occurs when someone makes you doubt your memory, perspective, or sanity. The perpetrator may say something like, “You’re too sensitive.” “That didn’t occur.” “You’re making things up.” You start to question your reality over time. This keeps you in check and gives the gaslighter more power.

Why Believing in Gaslighting Destroys You
Loss of Self-Trust
The main consequence of gaslighting is that you lose faith in your own judgment. You question your choices, emotions, and recollections.
Anxiety and Stress
Constantly questioning yourself creates mental exhaustion, overthinking, and anxiety.
Social Isolation
Gaslighters often make you feel like others are against you too. This isolates you from friends and family, leaving you more dependent on the abuser.
Trauma and Low Self-Esteem
Prolonged gaslighting causes emotional damage, sadness, and profound self-doubt.
Warning Signs That You’re Believing the Gaslighting
Even when you don’t understand why, you apologize all the time. You say things like “Maybe I’m wrong” when you’re having trouble remembering stuff. For the most part, you feel perplexed. You begin to distance yourself from those you love. You maintain documentation (screenshots, words) to verify what is authentic. These are warning signs that you might be experiencing gaslighting abuse if they sound familiar to you.
