Kids and teenagers would usually see the school as their second home. Once they grow older and get started with their career, the workplace becomes their 'new' second home. Employees would typically spend one-third of their day (sometimes even more) to manage the daily workload in the office. Giving a big chunk of your daily life at work would require you to interact with your co-workers, whether you like it or not. The hours spent with colleagues give the opportunity to know them better.

The targeted individual makes them question their reality, memory, perception, and even their own judgment. Unfortunately, this can happen in any kind of relationship - including those of a couple. Why does this happen? Gaslighting starts due to a variety of reasons.
