Manipulation
Gaslighter
Makes you doubt your own reality.
A Gaslighter doesn't just lie — they rewrite history to protect themselves. They deny things that happened, flip the timeline, and make you feel irrational for reacting normally. Over time you start trusting their version more than your own memory, which is exactly the point. The goal isn't winning the argument. It's making you stop trusting yourself.
Common signs
- Rewrites the timeline of what happened
- Denies what was said, even mid-argument
- Makes you doubt your own memory
- "You're overreacting" or "that's not what I meant"
