Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic used by toxic individuals to control and undermine others. Gaslighting is not limited to personal relationships but can also occur in various contexts like work, politics, and friendships. This video identifies traits and behaviors of gaslighters, including lying, accusing others, calling them crazy or emotionally unbalanced, undermining them subtly, deflecting accountability, and manipulating emotions. It's crucial to be able to recognize these signs and minimize contact with gaslighters and gradually distance yourself.
