This tendency is clear in you — here is what it reveals, to understand and move forward.

Denying facts, words or events that really happened.

Your high score on denial of reality describes situations where what you saw, heard or lived is denied by the other ('that never happened', 'you're making it up', 'you're exaggerating'). This is one of the core mechanisms of gaslighting. It matters to name what is at play — to weigh against your own experience: when someone repeatedly denies a reality you nonetheless perceived, the intended or produced effect is to make you doubt your own judgment, until you come to prefer their version to yours. This is not a sign that you perceive badly: it is the sign of a relationship where your perception is systematically disqualified. One protective step is to keep a factual record of what you experience (notes, dates, facts): not to 'prove' anything to the other, but to anchor yourself in your own reality when it is contested. Your perception has value, and the doubt you feel is probably the product of the mechanism, not of your faculties.

Being made to doubt your memories, what you saw, heard or felt.

Your high score describes frequent doubt about your own memory and perception: you are no longer sure of what you said, did or felt, you wonder whether you 'made it up' or 'distorted' it. This doubt is, most often, not the sign of a memory problem — to weigh against your experience — but the direct consequence of a reality regularly contested: from hearing again and again that you're wrong, doubt sets in and generalises. This is precisely the effect gaslighting seeks: when you no longer trust your memory, you become dependent on the other's version, which becomes the arbiter of reality. One way of reading it is that this doubt is a symptom, not a flaw: it usually dissipates when you put distance between yourself and the source of the disqualification and re-anchor in factual markers. Your need to check everything, write everything down, have witnesses, is not 'madness': it is an adaptive response to an environment where your reality is under attack.

Turning situations around so that you feel responsible and guilty.

Your high score on guilt reversal describes a pattern where, whatever happens, you end up feeling responsible — even apologising — including when you are the one who was hurt. This reversal — to weigh against your experience — is a powerful mechanism: it turns the wronged person into the guilty one, which defuses any questioning of the other and keeps you in a position of permanent debt and repair. One way of reading it is that this chronic guilt does not reflect real wrongs but is the product of a system where responsibility is systematically shifted onto you. The telltale sign is its generality: if you feel guilty about almost everything, including what is done to you, it is probably not that you are at fault for everything, but that the mechanism is working. Regaining a fair measure of responsibilities — what is truly yours and what is not — is an essential step toward escaping the grip of this guilt.

Being made to look 'too sensitive', unstable or 'crazy', and being isolated.

Your moderate score on discrediting and isolation describes situations where you are devalued (your opinions, your emotions, your loved ones mocked or criticised) and/or gradually cut off from those around you. Isolation — to weigh against your experience — is an aggravating mechanism: the more a person is cut off from their outside markers (friends, family), the fewer points of comparison they have to assess what is normal, and the more the other's version becomes the only available reality. Discrediting, in turn, erodes self-confidence and increases dependence on the approval of the person doing the devaluing. The moderate level is an important piece of information: it suggests you still keep some outside ties and markers, which is a precious resource to protect absolutely. Maintaining and strengthening your support network is one of the most effective protective factors against this kind of dynamic.

Confusion, loss of confidence in your judgment, the feeling of 'going crazy'.

Your high score on the impact in terms of self-doubt measures the consequences of all the above on your relationship to yourself: loss of confidence, the feeling of 'going crazy' or being 'too sensitive', anxiety, exhaustion from questioning everything. It is often the most painful dimension — to weigh against your experience — because it touches the core: the person subjected to gaslighting ends up doubting not only their perceptions, but their whole self. It is crucial to understand the direction of causality: it is not because you are fragile that you endure this; it is because you endure this that you feel undermined. This reversal is freeing: your current state is a REACTION to an environment, not a trait of your personality. The good news, widely documented, is that self-confidence is restored when you move away from the source of doubt, re-anchor in your reality and find validating support. Your suffering is the sign that something is wrong in the situation, not in you.
