People who gaslighting others often have the intention of feeling in control by manipulating their victims into agreeing and following them. Such as by adamantly denying ever saying or doing the things they’re accused of and by lying frequently. You must to know.

Even when caught lying, the gaslighter will often deflect by asking a different question or twisting the story by blaming the victim.UFABET Such as “You’re making it up, I didn’t do it.” and “Because you caused the problem, I had to do this.”

In addition, those who gaslight others may use well-meaning statements to smooth the situation over. Such as, “You’re overthinking it. I was just joking.” “You know how much I love you. I wouldn’t hurt you. I’m doing this because I care and love you.” These statements can distract the victim from feeling like. They’re being gaslighted and believe it’s right.
