Tsantelfis

The state of emotional vertigo and exhaustion caused by a partner’s relentless, paranoid accusations of things that only happened in their own mind. It is the "shaking ground" feeling of being forced to defend your character against a delusional reality. Tsantelfis captures the raw pain of being trapped in someone else’s shadows, where your actual truth is ignored in favor of their irrational jealousy and anger. It often leads to "self-policing," where you limit your own freedom and isolate yourself just to avoid the inevitable accusations.
