Gaslighting is a form of subtle violence. How to understand that you are trapped by a manipulator

Gaslighting is a common psychological manipulation technique used by an aggressor to deceive and control the victim. This is a dangerous phenomenon because it is very difficult to recognize. The manipulator may use jokes, "harmless" comments, and appear to be a generally reasonable person. But after interacting with them, you are left with an unpleasant feeling that "something is not right," tormenting self-doubt, and doubts about your own opinions. Perhaps you even find yourself agreeing to something you didn't want to, or feeling obligated to this person.
