Gaslighting

Gaslighting is when you are absolutely certain internally that the situation is out of control, but someone keeps convincing you otherwise. Common gaslighting phrases are: "I didn't say that," "You must be mistaken," or "It's just a joke." If this lasts for some time, your own reality begins to slowly erode. Gaslighting can range from the simple lies and exaggerations to total submission and domination.
