Gaslighting

When someone makes you question your reality by lying, denying, or manipulating facts. Common in toxic relationships to make the other person feel insecure or crazy.

If this feels familiar, it's okay to seek help or just talk to someone you trust. You deserve safety and happiness.
Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic used to doubt the victims perceptions, memory and reality using lies, denial and blame shifting to maintain control

Abuser: "I never said I'd meet you at 7 PM-you must be imagining things again. Honestly, it's exhausting how you always twist my words. Maybe you're the one with the problem, not me."
