Gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation in which a person makes someone else question their own sanity, perception, or memory. The term comes from the 1944 movie "Gaslight," in which a man manipulates his wife by making her doubt her perception of reality through subtle changes to her environment, such as dimming the gas lights, hence the name "gaslighting."
In general, gaslighting involves a series of tactics designed to make the victim doubt themselves, their memory, their judgment, and their perception of reality. The gaslighter may use lies, denial, misdirection, and other tactics to sow confusion and make the victim question their own sanity. Over time, gaslighting can lead to a sense of powerlessness and a loss of self-confidence in the victim.
Gaslighting is often associated with abusive relationships, but it can also occur in other settings, such as the workplace, politics, and even in online interactions. It is important to recognize the signs of gaslighting and seek support if you believe you are a victim of this form of emotional manipulation.
