10 Signs You Might Be Experiencing Gaslighting

10 Signs You Might Be Experiencing Gaslighting

Gaslighting is one of the most confusing—and damaging—forms of emotional & pyschological abuse. It’s designed to make you question your memory, your feelings, and even your sanity. The truth is: if you’ve been made to believe you’re “too sensitive,” “imagining things,” or “overreacting,” you may be experiencing gaslighting.

Here are ten signs to watch for:

1. You Question Your Memory Constantly

You find yourself thinking, “Did that really happen?” even when you were sure a moment ago.

2. You Apologize All the Time

You say “I’m sorry” automatically—even when you’re not sure what you did wrong.

3. You’ve Been Called “Too Sensitive”

Hearing this repeatedly makes you believe your emotions are invalid or overblown.

4. Conversations Leave You Confused

Instead of clarity, discussions end with you doubting yourself more.

5. You Walk on Eggshells

You measure every word and action to avoid conflict or criticism.

6. You Feel Like Everything Is Your Fault

Even when logic tells you otherwise, you carry the blame.

7. You Cling to the Good Moments

You hang onto rare kindnesses as proof the relationship isn’t as bad as it feels.

8. You Feel Cut Off from Support

You’ve withdrawn from friends or family—or they’ve been pushed away by the other person.

9. You Feel Drained and Uncertain

The constant cycle of defending your reality leaves you exhausted and ungrounded.

10. You Barely Recognize Yourself Anymore

Your confidence is shaken, your voice feels smaller, and you wonder who you used to be.

If you read this list and feel that unsettling “yes, that’s me”—please know this: you are not broken, and you’re not imagining it. Gaslighting is real, and its effects are profound.
