/Sounds like "gahs" + "leeg" + "teh" (as in "ten" without "n") + "AHR"/

To psychologically manipulate someone into doubting their own perception, memory, and sanity systematically. It's emotional abuse disguised as concern — 'you're overreacting' is the gaslighter's favorite phrase.

Example

"He gaslighted her so much she didn't know what was true anymore."

"If they tell you 'that never happened,' they're gaslighting you."
