Gaslighting is a type of emotional abuse usually seen in abusive relationships. It is a tactic in which the abuser manipulates and misleads the victim, creates a false narrative of a situation, and makes the victim believe it. The victim of gaslighting becomes uncertain of the reality, questions their judgment, and wonders if they are losing their ability to perceive reality. For example, the abuser keeps insisting that the victim's thoughts and actions are irrational, slowly making the victim self-doubt and believe it must be true.
