You mean gaslighting? I would advance the argument that therapy might sort this out. I can say i sometimes feel the same way though its hard to parse out my own insecurities with what might be valid concern. To be fair, I don't go to therapy but when i did go, I got benefit. I practice mindfulness to detect when I might be coming to the wrong conclusions. There is nothing wrong with expressing your concerns, e.g. taking an example of this feeling and discussing it with her. If it's gaslighting, you might well get nowhere but its worth the effort. Otherwise, without discussion or therapy or adaptive strategy, the circumstances might well keep getting under your skin. The hope is that you can figure out a way to discern perceptions and how to address them. She may well not realize how she does things impacts you. But you won't know until you do something to help you see through what is going on.
