7 Gaslighting Tactics You Won’t Notice Until It’s Too Late
These tactics will mess with your mind without your knowing.
Gaslighting isn’t just someone lying to your face. It’s much deeper. More twisted.
It’s a slow, subtle way of making you question reality so much so that one day, you wake up and wonder, “Am I the crazy one here?”
I’ve seen it. I’ve felt it. And if you’re reading this, maybe you have too. The tricky part is, gaslighters don’t come with warning labels.
They don’t wear shirts that say, “Hey, I manipulate people for fun!” Nope. They act normal. Sometimes, they even seem nice.
That’s why you need to know these signs. Not the obvious ones—the hard-to-spot ones.
The ones that keep you stuck in the cycle, doubting yourself, feeling like you’re losing your mind.
They Weaponize Kindness
Weaponized kindness is the gaslighter’s secret weapon. It’s how they keep you hooked.
Just when you start thinking, “Wait, maybe this person isn’t good for me,” they flip the script and drown you in kindness — so much kindness that you start doubting yourself.
