@residueleft: How do you respond to gaslighting when someone keeps denying what happened, twisting your words, or pulling you into circular arguments? Repeatedly defending your memory can leave you questioning yourself instead of addressing the original behavior. These 5 responses can help you recognize the manipulation, avoid unnecessary arguments, and protect your clarity. You don't have to convince someone of your experience to take it seriously. When responding feels unsafe, protecting yourself matters more than continuing the conversation. #gaslighting #emotionalabuse #manipulation #psychologicalabuse #gaslightingrecovery
