  -> Yes, anything! 'made a fool of me' is probably the best. Surprised Dylan asked for this. Is there a catch somewhere?

tried to convince everyone that I am a lier/incompetent/ινσανε


Explanation:
"με έβγαλε τρελο" means that my arguements and evidence were far from the truth, despite -most of the times- the evidence/arguements being very convinving and compelling, or just that it doesn't make sense.
