20 signs you’re being gaslighted
Zeynep Tuck 13 hrs ago
Red flags in relationships come in all shapes and sizes. These red flags aren’t always glaringly obvious, nor do they necessarily come in the form of physical abuse or violence. While some abuse and manipulation in relationships can be more subtle and hard to recognize, these forms of oppression can have lasting effects on a person’s self-esteem and self-worth.

Since it's clickbait I recapped it for my Briefer Friends.
• Being told you are too sensitive
• Always apologizing
• Being told you are overreacting
• Becoming more indecisive
• Lacking psychological safety
• Not trusting your instincts
• Suffering from low self-esteem
• Second-guessing yourself
• Becoming a people pleaser
• Resorting to lying
• Being called “aggressive” or “bossy” at work
• Pretending to forget
• Questioning your own sanity
• Being told you are nagging
• Having your words and feelings trivialized
• Experiencing conditional love
• Having your strife demeaned or ignored
• Feeling guilty, ashamed and small
• Sharing the same values, beliefs and opinions
• Making excuses
And last but certainly not least

Sorry... I only speak English. What does being gaslighted" mean? I stopped trying to keep up with "coolspeak" when I heard about people jumping over sharks. English is so much more clear and concise.

Gaslighting comes from the old movie “Gaslight” in the 40s.
It is supposed to mean manipulating someone to question their sanity or make them go crazy so they’ll be committed, like in the movie.
Now it’s considered psychological abuse but the end result (being committed) no longer applies.

Well, @AARguy , to me it's sorta like when you catch your wife/husband in bed with the neighbor and they say:
"Do you believe what I'm saying or your lying eyes?"

Filling in some more info -
The movie was made in Britain around 1950.
It featured a man who was killing people
and disposing of the bodies by burning them in the gas furnace in the basement.
Every time he turned up the furnace to burn up a body,
his wife, upstairs, noticed the gas lights getting dim.
She asked him, "Why do the lights get dim sometimes?"
He kept telling her, "That's not happening. You're just imagining that."
It's like us asking, "Why are food and fuel prices suddenly rising?"
And the government and the "news" propagandists constantly telling us,
"There's no inflation. You're just imagining that."

Great synopsis @unite for individuality especially the last part.
