mental illness (though I think someone did and is doing this to me)
With apologies to patio11 [1], we really do need a word for "A denial which is phrased in such a fashion as to make listening observers think it is more likely, not less likely, that the thing being denied actually happened."
That said, very insightful comment otherwise!

- baccheion 10y agoWhen I talk about what I'm experiencing, everyone says I'm displaying signs of mental illness. It gets even worse when I say what I think is happening (someone did this to me). So now I say mental illness to have said mental illness, then I say what I really think.
