Definition: When a partner or family member installs indoor security cameras under the guise of convenience (like pet monitoring or home automation) but secretly uses them to feed paranoia, control behavior, or spy on private moments. It’s a betrayal that turns cozy spaces into anxiety-fueled fishbowls.
The vibe shifts from “checking on Grandma” to “logging your snack habits,” eroding relationships with silent surveillance. Living with TrustBleed means every camera blink feels like a judgmental eye, making Netflix binges and solo dance parties weirdly performative.

Example:
Mark installed cameras “for the cat,” but Sarah felt his constant comments on her daytime activities revealed his silent surveillance and eroded their trust.
Living with her mother’s security cameras meant Maya’s every move felt watched, turning her own apartment into an anxiety-fueled fishbowl where privacy vanished.
