Recognizing toxic behaviors

Toxic behaviors, such as gaslighting, hoovering, and chronic lying, are manipulative tactics used to control others. Gaslighting involves manipulating the truth and making the victim doubt their own reality. Hoovering refers to attempts to re-engage the victim after they have distanced themselves. Chronic lying erodes trust and leaves the victim questioning their own perception of events. Recognizing these toxic behaviors is crucial in breaking free from manipulation and regaining personal power.
