It's a funny joke but I had someone try that with me. Tried to convince me there was no such thing as lying either. He was rather confused when I informed him that we weren't friends anymore.

“gaslighting 1 of 2 noun gas·light·ing ˈgas-ˌlī-tiŋ -ˈlī-
: psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator
Gaslighting can be a very effective tool for the abuser to control an individual. It's done slowly so the victim writes off the event as a one off or oddity and doesn't realize they are being controlled and manipulated. Melissa Spino
Gaslighting can happen in any relationship circumstance, including between friends and family members—not just in couple relationships. Deena Bouknight
