Isn’t that the definition of “gaslighting”?

“Gaslighting” is a lie told where the victim knows it is a lie. So could be.
But with one subtlety: If the “liar” is a narcissist, then the “lie” is often believed by the narcissist themselves, making it not a lie as such - since “lie” implies they know it is untrue.
