When someone changes the facts of an event, causing someone else to doubt their own memory, perception, and instincts, it’s only natural for the victim to feel insecure and unsure. This kind of manipulation makes it hard for someone to trust and know what’s real. At the end of the day, the victim may even get confused about what is true and what isn’t, which is why it’s important to be aware of this technique.
One sign that you are being emotionally manipulated in this way is that you start to question everything you do and think, even when you don’t have any reason to. In this situation, it’s best to trust your judgment and instincts, act confidently, and find people you can trust to help you understand what’s going on. You should keep in mind that this kind of action may sometimes need the help of a professional to deal with.
