@residueleft: Gaslighting doesn't only make you question what happened. It can make you question yourself long afterward. You may start asking others if your reactions make sense, hesitating over simple decisions, changing your answers when someone challenges them, or feeling relieved when someone confirms what you already noticed. That loss of confidence didn't appear out of nowhere. When your reality was repeatedly questioned, you may have learned to question yourself first. That's residue left behind. 🖤 #gaslighting #emotionalabuse #psychologicalabuse #manipulation #narcissisticabuse
