Gaslighting means making someone doubt their sanity or memory through psychological manipulation caused by another person or group. Gaslighters may use a variety of tactics to achieve this, such as:

Dispute and/or deny what the victim remembers and has gone through.
The victim is made to feel belittled or irrelevant.
Isolating the victim from others.
Here are some examples of gaslighting:

The spouse recalls a conversation about a certain time when the other will come back but the partner tells them that they never said it.
When an employee reacts reasonably in a stressful setting, a supervisor reprimands him or her saying that he/she is over-sensitive.
A parent tells a kid that he or she is making it all up when in actuality, the child has been abused by the parent-child.
