We've dealt with others gaslighting us, but did you know that gaslighting can also happen individually?
There have been so many instances in life where we gaslight ourselves even without realizing it. More difficult to identify of course, but we found 5 signs to tell if you're not treating yourself with the care that you should.
Check them out.
#1 You make excuses for someone's bad behavior
Instead of acknowledging what they are doing wrong, you make excuses for them, try to justify their actions and blame yourself.
#2 You invalidate your feelings
You compare worser situations to yours, and constantly think that you're overreacting, even when you're just reacting.
#3 You constantly 'should' yourself
You don't allow yourself to feel what you're feeling and tell yourself 'I shouldn't be...'.
#4 You believe you're too sensitive
You think that what you're feeling is because you're being too sensitive.
#5 You don't trust your own judgement
Despite your intuition and gut-feelings, you do not trust yourself or your judgement.
How many times have you gaslit yourself?
