Gaslighting is a form of mind game that causes one to question their sanity. Gaslighting is a serious matter. If you're concerned that it's happening to you, you should research it and either leave the situation or get someone else involved, depending on your comfort level with doing so.

Gaslighting occurs when someone attempts to undermine your reality. It's an instance of emotional abuse, and although it often conjures up-traumatic relationships in our minds, anyone can gaslight you — a parent, a friend, or even a boss. Take the time to heal; perhaps through therapy or by taking time away from the situation.

Typically, the person who is causing everyone else to go insane is himself or herself insane. These people are highly skilled manipulators who share characteristics with abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It all boils down to emotional abuse; it's a gradual process in which the victim isn't even aware they're being influenced.
