Physical abuse is something obvious.
Theres concrete evidence that there is an issue and the relationship is an unhealthy one.
Butemotional abusetakes on a different form.
God & Man
You begin to value the good days and good moments failing to address the bad ones.
They constantly put you down.
Emotionally abusive partners tend to build themselves up by knocking those around them down.
God & Man
They say things jokingly but they arent kidding.
They tell you youre overly sensitive.
Emotionally abusive people gravitate towards those who they can manipulate and walk all over.
And a common trait is someone being sensitive.
But instead of taking your feelings into consideration, they blame you.
Because you are always the problem.
Its all about control.
They like knowing everything.
They like bossing you around.
If you dont do what they tell you to, theythreatento take things away from you.
This is just another way they control you.
They are the first to correct your mistakes but will never own up to their own.
Every mistake you make, gets called out.
Yet, youd never think to do the same if the tables were turned.
You struggle to make decisions on your own.
And it can vary from really basic things to big life events, you ask other peoples opinions of.
They constantly point out your flaws.
Its hard to build yourself up and have confidence when someone is constantly knocking you down.
You begin to hear their voice in everything.
You look in the mirror and you are convinced youd be happier if you didnt have that flaw.
They struggle to apologize.
While apologies do come, its hard for them to express it.
Its hard for them to admit they are wrong.
But they do have charm to them which allows to the abusive cycle to continue.
They pull away or leave.
They are the first to cause a scene and make nothing into something.
They emotionally shut down.
While sometimes they are loving and caring, other times they are cold and distant.
And when youre presented with one all of it is unfamiliar.
