@matthiasjbarker: Do THIS to protect yourself from gaslighting: When someone denies or twists the truth, don’t get sucked into the argument by trying to prove your point or get them to admit they’re wrong. Instead, state your perspective calmly and step away from the conversation. It’s natural to want to prove them wrong or convince them to see your side, but here’s the hard truth: you can’t make someone who’s committed to being irrational become rational. Arguing with a gaslighter only feeds into their game. But when you step away from the conversation, you take away their power to manipulate you and protect your own sense of reality. #gaslight #gaslighting #gaslighter #gaslit #manipulation #manipulative
