I want to offer you some additional comments that you might hear that should signal to you that you may be being gaslighted.

Common Gaslighting Comments

1. You're too sensitive and you're too emotional.
2. Calm down, there's no reason to get so upset.
3. Don't take it so personally.
4. You're reading too much into this.
5. I never said that, I never did that.
6. I was only just kidding.

Key Clue

A great clue to recognize gaslighting is that the other person takes no blame for themselves. They make it all about you being wrong, misinterpreting, or misremembering.

Next Steps

In the next video, I will give you some tools to defend yourself and give yourself a little bit of space so that you don't take the blame initially. This will allow you time to reassess yourself, gather yourself, and make the right assessment about the situation.
