Get the Gazalight mug.Gazalighting is a term used to describe a specific manipulative behavior where an individual attacks or provokes another person, and then, when the other person defends themselves or retaliates, the instigator tries to shift the blame or portray themselves as the victim. It involves a deliberate attempt to distort the reality of the situation, making the second person question their actions or feel at fault for the initial person's aggressive or provocative behavior. This term captures the essence of creating confusion and doubt in interpersonal conflicts to manipulate the narrative in one's favor.
