So, if there's one thing manipulative people know how to do best, it is gaslighting.
What is gaslighting you ask? Let us give you a simple definition to the term. Gaslighting basically means manipulating someone so much, to the extend they begin to doubt themselves.
It is a rather toxic trait, and is one most people do not notice happening to them, until one day it just clicks. Just so you're in the know, here are some common phrases that gaslighters use, and most of the time, get away with.
