A Genjutsu is a technique that manipulates your senses, you need to have a strong awareness of reality in order to understand when something is out of place.
It's very crucial that whatever reasoning you do, you do it fast. Sometimes I see people go into long discourses about some complex realization that their in a genjutsu, when they could have just focused on a small detail and go on with it. Obviously, the easiest way to figure out you're in a genjutsu is about how bizarre a certain situation is, either because it's too fast or unrealistic, or because you can't pinpoint how it began, or even because it's working in a way it isn't supposed to. Something like the sky suddenly turning red, or things starting to move around or distort, usually means a genjutsu.
That is the second way of realizing you're in a genjutsu, when you know the ninja or know enough to understand that whatever the genjutsu is creating is beyond the capability of your opponent. For example, if you see a byakugan user create a tree. You have enough understanding of RP to know that these KG don't match. This is also the case of people create genjutsus of animals that they cannot summon. Except Pain, a ninja can only summon one animal type, so if someone you don't know summons an animal, and then creates a genjutsu of a different animal, you can pretty much assume you're in a genjutsu.
Of course, if you do not know the ninja you're fighting, you have to assume some hidden skills, and learn what is real and what is not by trial and error.
Other than Bizarre Effects or Unattained Skills, you need to rely on the Genjutsu's own limitation. Especially in lower ranks, a genjutsu will only alter a couple of basic senses. Sometimes, a genjutsu can be purely visual, so, sounds associated with what the illusion is creating won't be produced, and you can use that to your advantage. Other times, you can see some light changes or superposition of images (for example, a person might see an illusionary animal or clone that doesn't bend grass when it walks). You can see a tree constricting you but not hear it grow. etc etc. When a genjutsu breaks the B rank mark, it starts to complexify, especially in the hands of a good genjutsu user, and start to describe a richer experience, but even masters make mistakes, and even powerful genjutsus have limitations, people just need to explore them.

While it is important to release a Genjutsu, something that most people leave out is how to identify whether one is in a Genjutsu or not. Ofcourse, this varies from Genjutsu to Genjutsu and because you asked me to identify the main ways on how to disrupt a Genjutsu; I shall ignore this.
1. The most Basic method to disrupt a Genjutsu is by applying a sudden surge of chakra. By weaving the Sheep handseal, the target stops their chakra's flow.. Gathering it at a single point before releasing it all at once therefore applying a sudden surge of chakra. This is known as Genjutsu Dissipation and can also be used by an unaffected person on one who is affected by Genjutsu, however keeping in mind that the unaffected person first needs to identify whether the affected one even is in a Genjutsu. The same method applies for the unaffected person needs to place his palm upon the affected one, weave the Sheep handseal and direct a sudden surge of chakra. This method, referred to as Kai by most, can be used against most generic Genjutsus.
2) Now, as you might know; most if not everyone on NB is fascinated by Genjutsu's that involve paralyzing the target. Why? Because Kai cannot be used when the body is paralyzed.. However, there is a method to counter Genjutsu's that involve paralyzing the target
3. Now, while we ordinary people have to depend upon Kai, Pain and Chakra Releasing Jutsus to disrupt a Genjutsu, there are certain Clans and Special Characters that have abilities to counter Genjutsu with them

- Like I mentioned earlier, Kai cannot be used to disrupt a Genjutsu that paralyzes the target however this does not mean that the target cannot apply a sudden surge of chakra. Indeed, there are numerous techniques that involves releasing a surge of chakra and these techniques can be used to disrupt Genjutsu's when it is not possible to use Kai. A few examples are, Earth Release: Hardening Technique and Gentle Fist Style: One Blow Body
- Do not falter, for there is another way to disrupt a Genjutsu as well. Now, you're new to RP and an OP guy challenges you to a battle. In an attempt to one-shot you, he places a Genjutsu upon you, and you have not been taught Kai or any Elemental Jutsu that involves releasing chakra. What do you do? You stab yourself.. Or even better, you twist your finger. Why? Because pain is capable of releasing one from Genjutsu. While it varies, for greater pain is needed to release high ranked Genjutsus, this is an effective method to release yourself from a Genjutsu.. That is, once you have realized you are in a Genjutsu. Oh, and don't ask me how it is allowed to twist your finger or chew off your inner cheek when a paralysis Genjutsu is applied for I do not know an answer to this and I have noticed that most, if not all ignore this.
3. Now, while we ordinary people have to depend upon Kai, Pain and Chakra Releasing Jutsus to disrupt a Genjutsu, there are certain Clans and Special Characters that have abilities to counter Genjutsu with them
- The Uchiha Clan... Should I even mention them? Perhaps, I should.. It is generally believed that a Genjutsu cannot be used upon an Uchiha however, this is incorrect. It can be used upon an Uchiha, it's just that they'll easily realize this and they are capable of layering your Genjutsu with a Genjutsu of their own. Their eyes are dangerous, and it would be best if you stay away from Uchihas :|
- The Hyuuga Clan, one of the most underrated clan in the Narutoverse. Can light, chakra, mist, smoke.. In fact anything restrict their sight? NO! But can a Genjutsu do so? Perhaps! Although the Hyuuga Clan are unable to counter a Genjutsu like how the Uchiha are capable of doing, the Hyuuga however can identify whether foreign chakra is present within their chakra system and there you have it, the Hyuuga's now know they are in a Genjutsu. Ofcourse the Hyuuga first needs to pick up some clues regarding whether they are even in a Genjutsu before they check their chakra system for it would make no sense for the Hyuuga to look at their chakra system for foreign chakra 24/7
- Deidara Senpai! Wearing a scope on his left eye? Or right? He is capable of disrupting any A rank or below Genjutsu simply because of his scope's abilities! What else would a man want?
