Gaslighting involves psychological manipulation that leads victims to question their reality and lose trust in their perceptions. A gaslighter aims to create confusion and dependency, undermining the victim's self-esteem and emotional stability. This tactic is especially prevalent in situations like workplace interactions, illustrated by a scenario in which a victim begins to doubt their memory regarding an important meeting. Originally associated with romantic relationships, gaslighting has expanded in meaning, highlighting its potential for manipulation across various interpersonal contexts.
Gaslighting is designed to destabilize a target until they can't discern between reality and unreality. This manipulation leads to confusion and dependency on the perpetrator.
A gaslighter's agenda is to make you lose trust in your own perception, causing you to doubt your reality and thereby strengthening their control over you.
