Gaslighting When Questioned on Seeking
A direct question is met with hurt, accusation, or a pivot to "don't you trust me?" instead of a direct answer. On Seeking, where the dominant catfish pattern is arrangement/allowance framing used to normalize early financial requests, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. Seeking has no native video-call feature, so testing for this tactic usually means proposing a call on a separate app instead.
