gaslighting would be like that...

someone is playing mind games with you to the point where you lose touch with reality so to speak...

to me it sounds like these people were either trolling you, gaslighting you; for fun or because they thought you were some one else...

the internet is full of people that we should avoid...

if i was feeling better i could explain more..

i would suggest not talking with those people and just avoiding new people that come across like that, if it continues maybe call the cops...?
