Gaslighting — Common Questions

What are the classic gaslighting phrases?+

The recurring ones are: 'That never happened,' 'You're too sensitive,' 'You're remembering it wrong,' 'Everyone agrees you overreact,' and 'I never said that.' Any of these can appear once in a normal relationship — gaslighting is when they form the standard response to your concerns, so your memory itself becomes the topic instead of his behavior.

How do I know it's gaslighting and not my anxiety?+

One reliable signal: check your reality against records. If texts, emails, and other people's accounts keep confirming your memory while he keeps denying it, that's gaslighting. If the records keep surprising you, anxiety may be doing the distorting. This test helps separate the two by scoring his behaviors and your self-trust independently.

Why do I feel like I'm going crazy?+

Because that is the designed outcome of gaslighting: when someone you love and trust repeatedly denies your reality, your brain resolves the conflict by doubting itself. Feeling 'crazy' around one specific person — while functioning fine everywhere else — is itself a diagnostic clue worth taking seriously.
