    Expert Answer
    Think about how they treat you in conversations. A gaslighting friend will try to deflect blame and make you question your sense of reality. Let's say you confront a friend about how often they cancel plans—a gaslighting friend might twist the situation and make you feel like you're perceiving things incorrectly.

    Confront them about it. Maybe they are going through something right now. It's best to communicate how you are feeling with your best friend.

    Directly confront her and ask her why she's doing this. If she doesn't respect your feelings and change her behavior, end this friendship.

    What do I do if a friend acts like she is interested, but then doesn't respond or put in any effort when I try to plan something?

    Community Answer
    Try not planning anything for a few weeks and see if she asks to hang out. If she doesn't, she is probably not a great friend.
