Gaslighting? Is that some word your little internet friends taught you? They’re taking advantage of you, you need to listen to me not them. I love you more than they ever could. Why would I ever lie to you? I can’t believe you would even say that. You’re being so rude to me right now. You should be glad I haven’t left you yet.
Gaslighting isn’t real sweetie

A form of psychological abuse in which someone (historically male) attempts to invalidate or belittle another person (historically female) by painting a picture of them as 'psycho' or 'crazy'.
This is often done to justify, or deflect from the abuser's behavior.
This can be done in numerous ways
1) By attempting to trick the person themselves into thinking they are insane. Trying to make them lose trust in their own memory or perception.
2) By provocatively baiting someone (often by taunting them or pushing their buttons) into reacting 'irrationally' so that you may demonstrate to others that they are 'unmanageable', 'psycho' or 'crazy'.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was having an affair. In an attempt to 1) get rid of his wife, and get her out of the picture, and 2) justify his infidelity, he would try to convince her and others of her insanity. He would hide her belongings, torment her, withhold information from her then insist he told her and she simply forgot. This led to her being locked away in a mental asylum.
"Did you see how Michael was gaslighting Amber on Love Island last night? Her reaction to him cheating was completely sound until he provoked her by taunting her, and now he thinks he has proven his point that she is 'childish' and 'crazy'."

Gaslighting:
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that's seen in mental abusive relationships. It's the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events occurring around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity.
Women are very well known for gaslighting throughout the world they will constantly move things that someone else has placed somewhere then act as if they did not do so. Most of the time women do this in order to upset their paryner to the point where they blow up and argue, so that they (women) can then play the victim of emotional abuse themselves all while making the other party feel like a mad man losing his mind, with now a blame problem added to it all while they (men) sit in sorrow and regret questioning what is wrong with themself.
Don't fall for "Gaslighting" call it out!

To plant self-doubt inside someone’s mind, often to get what you want. You make the other person believe that their feelings don’t matter and they can handle it when they can’t. Avoid doing this as it is extremely unhealthy and breaking!
Kawa: Anderson gaslighted me all throughout our relationship. I felt like I didn’t matter.
Ren: I’m glad you got out of that toxic relationship.

Doing something to upset someone, waiting for them to react, then standing back in pretend ignorance saying "what? what did I do?"

When you tell a woman she's wrong about something and goes insane and expects you to to apologize for having a penis but instead you just go quite and close your eyes and wait for it to end like a plane crash.
Gaslighting: Our male ancestors started hunting so they wouldn't gaslight anymore.

Screw the psychology definition of ‘Gaslighting’; gaslighting is when someone takes a naked flame to a fart, causing the fart to explode like a bomb.
Gaslighting is defined as Just when Simon farted his friend used his cigarette lighter to ignite Simon’s fart thus causing an explosion
