What do you do to cope with gaslighting, or manipulative people?

Tbh, sometimes I feel like I am like that too even tho I don't want to be.

I guess you just have to not trust people blindly and check facts, consider whether you really did/ did not do something or is that person just making you believe you did/did not do something. Also you have to stand your ground, sometimes it's better to walk away from manipulative people than to be their puppet
