Gaslighting in relationships is no exception either. But while we're pretty hyper-focused on the things in which happen to us, are we REALLY willing to ask ourselves, "Is it me? Am I the problem?"

I see this question so often nowadays. It’s funny because when online dating first came about, it was hard then, too. We knew this because people have been having strictly online-based relationships for years, and we know how most of those end up. Yet here we are, where instantaneous, online connections are easily considered the
