Хризантема – по праву вважається королевої осені. Саме під кінець сезону ця квітка проявляє себе у всій красі. Рослини бувають кущовими, дрібноквітковими та з величезними кулястими квітами. По суті, хризантема невибаглива. Вона радує своєю яскравістю і при дощах, і при температурних перепадах, але рослина все ж таки важливо підготувати до холодів. Що робити, якщо […]

GASLIGHTING is one of the most insidious forms of emotional abuse – a behaviour that leaves you constantly questioning your memories, instincts, and even your sense of self.
Because it’s often subtle and gradual, you can find yourself trapped before you even realise what’s happening.

But recognising the key red flags to watch out for can help to inform and protect you from manipulation.
One person wrote: “I don’t think Curtis is necessarily in the right but Ekin-Su has just given a gaslighting masterclass the last 2 days it’s actually scary to watch.”
A second added: “That Ekin and Curtis argument was insane bc [because] how that go from ‘f**k you if you don’t think I’m authentic’ to ‘I cut my mum out of my life once’ to then kissing, I’ve got whiplash.”
Another added: “Naaa she’s manipulative and toxic!!! #LoveIslandAllStars Ekin is calculated and crazy! CURTIS RUN.”
Nikki Bradley MBE, Director of Services at Women’s Aid said: “Gaslighting is designed to make you doubt your sense of reality.
“This can look like your partner denying facts, dismissing things that happened, or trivialising your feelings. It’s a tactic to avoid taking responsibility by shifting the blame onto you.
“Experiencing gaslighting can leave you questioning what’s real and what’s not and doubting your own judgement or abilities.
“But remember you are not alone, and it’s not your fault.”
Here, psychologist Emma Kenny reveals to YASMIN HARISHA the red flags you should never ignore and the ones that are difficult to spot.
Dismissing feelings
If you try to share how you feel and they dismiss you as ‘too sensitive’ or ‘overreacting,’ they’re deliberately undermining your emotional reality.
Over time, you may start second-guessing whether your feelings are valid at all.
Rewriting history
You remember a specific event one way, but they insist it happened differently, or didn’t happen at all.
This constant distortion of facts can make you doubt your own memory and question your capacity to recall what really went on.
Subtle sabotage
Whether it’s ‘accidentally’ losing your keys or deleting an important message, these small acts chip away at your confidence.
Because they’re minor, you might dismiss them as carelessness, until you realise there’s a pattern eroding your trust in yourself.
Gaslighting rarely starts with huge, obvious acts of manipulation. Instead, it creeps up on you through tiny, seemingly insignificant comments and behaviours that add up over time.
You may find yourself making excuses for your partner’s actions, assuming they’re stressed, or that you’re being oversensitive, and meanwhile, your self-esteem slips away bit by bit.
This slow erosion of your confidence is what makes gaslighting so hard to recognise, by the time you identify the pattern, you may already be deeply entangled in doubt.
If reading these signs feels uncomfortably familiar, remember you are not alone and you are not to blame.
Reaching out for help, whether from a trusted friend, a support group, or a professional, can be the first step toward reclaiming the clarity and self-trust you deserve.
No one has the right to distort your reality, and understanding the hallmarks of gaslighting is the key to escaping its grip.
Remember, you are NOT going mad, but someone is working very hard to make you believe that you are.

Isolating you
Gaslighters often aim to remove your support network, making you rely on them more and more.
If your partner discourages you from confiding in loved ones or going out with friends, it can keep you trapped in their version of reality.
Gaslighting by proxy
They may recruit friends or family to question your memory, back up their side of the story, or insist you’re at fault.
This extra layer of ‘evidence’ makes you feel cornered and escalates the self-doubt you’re already experiencing.
Flipping the blame
When you confront them about an issue, they expertly twist the conversation until it’s somehow your fault.
Suddenly you find yourself apologising, even though you came to them with a valid concern.
Creating a chaos

Sometimes, gas-lighters deliberately cause drama, like stirring arguments out of thin air or constantly changing plans, so you never feel settled.
When you’re perpetually on edge, it’s harder to think rationally or see through manipulation.
Hiding behind ‘jokes’
Cutting remarks cloaked as banter or sarcasm can be a sneaky way to chip away at your confidence.
Because they label it as ‘just a joke,’ you feel guilty for taking offence, and it gets harder to call out the toxic behaviour.
This is a classic tactic that destroys your self-esteem, comment by comment.
Withholding information
If they consistently leave out important details or pretend, they never received your messages, it’s a form of control.
Depriving you of facts can leave you feeling confused, uncertain, and more reliant on them for clarity.
Change in tone
In public, they’re charming and attentive, but in private, they’re cold, condescending, or cruel.
This Jekyll-and-Hyde approach can make you doubt yourself because onlookers only see the ‘nice’ version, leaving you feeling isolated in your experiences.
Accusing of stability
By saying you’re ‘crazy,’ ‘paranoid,’ or ‘imagining things,’ they paint you as the problematic one.
This can leave you fearful of speaking up, convinced that others will believe their version of events rather than yours.
7 days agoLatest NewsComments Off on Trailer for Stephen King’s ‘excessively violent’ new movie BANNED by four TV networks
HORROR fans are desperate to see The Monkey after its latest trailer was banned from TV for being ‘excessively violent’.
Stephen King adaptations have always pushed the boundaries, but this one has gone too far for four major networks, which all refused to air the clip.

@neonrated/YouTubeFour networks refused to broadcast the trailer as it was deemed ‘excessively violent’[/caption]
@neonrated/YouTubeHorror fans are now even more excited to catch the flick in cinemas[/caption]
The film’s distributor, NEON, revealed the rejections on social media.
A company boss posted redacted emails from network executives who outright rejected the trailer.
“The spot below would not be permitted in any programming,” one email read, with a huge section blacked out before citing ‘excessive violence’ as the reason.
Another network had no interest in negotiating, stating bluntly: “Not suitable for our audiences, even with restrictions.”
A third response was even harsher, saying: “There are issues with every scene in the spot.”
The backlash has only fuelled more hype, with horror fans desperate to see what’s causing all the outrage.
One responded: “This is the best marketing you could ask for for the film.”
Another added: “NEON really is the best in the game at film marketing.”
The Monkey, directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), is based on King’s short story with the same name from Skeleton Crew.
The film follows twin brothers who uncover a sinister toy monkey in their attic, unleashing a wave of horrific deaths.
Its A-list line up includes Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, and Sarah Levy.
The banned trailer features some pretty disturbing imagery, after starting with a scene where a hand can be seen winding up a toy monkey.
After that there is a shot of a swimmer about to dive into a pool, unaware that a microwave has been dropped near to it, hinting that a gruesome electrocution is imminent.
A person runs frantically pushing a pram – seemingly with a baby in it – on fire.
A child bludgeons someone to death with a hammer.
Blood pours out of a woman’s eyes. A character coughs up a sliced off fingertip.
A person sprints out of their house, with their head engulfed in flames.
Horror fans are already predicting this will be one of the most shocking King adaptations yet.
