Do you have a persistent feeling that you are being manipulated or controlled? Do you experience feelings of anxiety and insecurity that leave you doubting yourself all the time? Do you frequently question your sense of reality? Take our free Gaslighting Test to find out if you are a victim of gaslighting.
What Is Gaslighting?
Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic used by abusive people to control and brainwash you into doubting your reality. It is a form of emotional manipulation and one of the most toxic forms of mental and psychological abuse.
You are made to believe a false narrative and you gradually start to question your mind and power of judgement. As a result of which, you feel uncertain about everything around you, and may even doubt your own sanity.
Gaslighting can be perpetrated by a romantic partner, family member, employer, or anyone else in a position of power.
Here are the following symptoms of gaslighting:
You constantly doubt yourself and your sense of reality.
You slowly start to question your sanity.
You are always apologizing for something or the other.
You find yourself isolated from your friends and family.
Check out the list of questions below that are commonly associated with the experiences of individuals who have been gaslighted. Take the time to consider each question thoughtfully, and indicate how frequently you have encountered similar challenges in your own life over the past few months.
Please note: This gaslighting online test is not a diagnostic tool and is only meant for self-assessment.
