gaslighting: manipulating (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity.

Maybe by: telling blatant lies, deny everything despite proof, make you question your reality, blackmail you, wear you down over time, gain your confidence + confuse you with infrequent rewards, project their shit onto you, try to align others against ya, make you feel or call you crazy or a liar.

Noticing + calling out patterns can be what breaks them.

You got this. Don't let people distort reality to accommodate their feelings.
