Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where someone makes you question your own reality.
The term comes from the 1938 play *Gas Light*, in which a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she is losing her mind by dimming the gas lights and denying it is happening.
Gaslighting behaviors include:
- Countering: repeatedly questioning your memory or perception ("That never happened")
- Withholding: pretending not to understand what you are saying
- Trivializing: dismissing your feelings as overreactions ("You are too sensitive")
- Denial: denying promises or agreements were made
- Diverting: changing the subject when you raise concerns
- Stereotyping: using stereotypes to dismiss your perspective
