To psychologically manipulate someone into doubting their own perception of reality. Popularized as a relationship term in the 2010s and now used loosely for any persistent denial of someone's correct read of a situation.
To manipulate someone such that they doubt their own memory, perceptions of reality, or sanity, typically for reasons.
Someone who systematically manipulates another person into questioning their own memory, perception, and sanity. A gaslighter doesn't argue with facts — they erase them, reframe them, or act like you invented them. They're the 'that never happened' person, the 'you're too sensitive' person, the 'everyone agrees with me' person. Gaslighters thrive on making you doubt yourself because your confusion is their control. Whether in relationships, at work, or online, spotting a gaslighter is step one of not losing your mind.
Someone who has absorbed so much gaslighting that they've internalised it — they now question their own instincts by default, apologise for things they didn't do, and genuinely believe their feelings are the problem.

The state someone enters when they fully commit to rewriting events, denying facts, and making the other person feel unhinged — usually as a defensive tactic when cornered. Gaslight mode isn't a personality; it's a gear shift. Someone in gaslight mode will claim conversations never happened, flip the script to make you the aggressor, and produce an alternative version of events so confidently you start to waver. Recognising when someone has switched into gaslight mode is the only way to avoid getting completely lost in their version of reality.
