Lying, discrediting you, distracting, minimising your thoughts & feelings, shifting blame, denying wrongdoing, rewriting history, etc.

Doubting your feelings & reality. You attempt to persuade that the treatment you're receiving isn't as harsh as you perceive it to be, or that perhaps you're overly sensitive.

The person downplays hurtful behaviors or words by saying, "I was just joking" or suggesting that "you need to develop thicker skin."
