You Started Questioning Yourself

You Started Questioning Yourself

It didn’t happen all at once.

There wasn’t a single moment where everything just flipped.

It started small.

A comment here. A denial there. A moment where what you felt… didn’t match what you were told was happening.

And over time, something began to shift.

Not just how you saw them… but how you saw yourself.

Research shows that repeated invalidation—being told your reality isn’t real—can slowly reduce self-trust and increase dependency on the person causing the confusion.

So now you double check your thoughts. Second guess your instincts. Replay conversations in your head trying to figure out what you missed.

But the truth is… you didn’t miss anything.

You were taught not to trust what you saw.
