You’ve Used The “Gaslighting” Technique More Than Once

If you don’t know, gaslighting is a common form of abuse where the abuser tries to make their partner think that their feelings and experiences in the relationship are not real. Basically, this high form of manipulation attempts to make the receiver think they’re crazy.

When you are abusive, you may frequently use this technique to shift the focus from your abusive actions and put the concentration on the false narrative that your partner is just imaging things. This could be in the form of cheating, embarrassing public encounters and other disturbing behaviors.
