I believe I was a gaslighter in the past. I almost felt like it was a veil over my eyes, I couldn't really see the error in my ways at the time. I just thought I was right all the time or too stubborn to admit I was wrong. When I finally stepped out of it and grew up, only then was I able to see how destructive I was and how I was treating people. I have since made amends the best way I could and have moved on with other relationships. I now tend to slow things down and have cooling off periods before important communication. What are some steps people can take to recognize this behavior pattern and change it in themselves?
