You know you’re being gaslit.

You recognize the pattern. You see what they’re doing. You understand the tactics.

But when you’re in the moment, your brain freezes.

They say “that never happened” with such confidence that you start doubting yourself again. They flip the script so fast you can’t keep up. By the time you figure out what just happened, the conversation is over and you’re apologizing.
