Am I Being Gaslit?

If the story keeps changing, write down the version you actually lived.

Gaslighting can make you feel like you need a courtroom transcript just to trust your own memory. Start by recording the facts privately.

Reality Check

Gaslighting is a pattern, not one awkward disagreement.

  • The facts keep getting rewritten after you react.
  • Your concern becomes proof that you are unstable or dramatic.
  • The other person denies tone, timing, promises, or exact words again and again.
  • You start preparing evidence for normal conversations.
