Gaslighting and its Definition

Gaslighting is a form of psychological and emotional abuse that involves manipulating someone's perception of reality and causing them to question their thoughts, memories, and self-esteem. It can lead to confusion, loss of confidence, and dependency on the gaslighter. Gaslighting refers to both a specific type of psychological deception and the broader act of grossly misleading someone for personal advantage.
