Why is Centrifugal force “not real”? I remember my physics teacher in high school pushing that idea and understanding why back then, but I do not remember now. I also forgot so much about physics in general that a simple would be much appreciated!

It’s real from the perspective of someone that’s spinning. It’s not real from the perspective of someone that’s not spinning.
It’s that simple, if someone tells you it’s not real, they’re really saying that they prefer you switch your perspective to the reference frame that’s not spinning.
