[ELI5] I honestly don’t understand the difference between centrifugal and centripetal. Help please.

I swear my physics prof claimed one of these didn’t exist as a force – I think it was centripetal. But that was a long time ago. Maybe it was discovered recently. Such confuse.

Centripetal is the force pulling you towards the center;
Centrifugal is the force you feel pulling outwards
