Top 10 Signs You're Being Emotionally Abused
The Top Ten
1 Threats and coercion are used to manipulate you
2 Use of intimidation or blackmail to control you
3 Blaming you for problems you have nothing to do with
4 Constantly putting you down and making you feel worthless
In the beginning, I stupidly allowed myself to be a victim of this at school from both pupils and teachers, but instead of it making me weak, I started to use it in a positive way to start proving those people wrong. It severely backfired on them. In a morbid, weird way, those people saved me and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them.
5 Withholding cash as a way to control
6 Verbal abuse towards you is disguised as jokes
7 Refusing to talk or make eye contact
8 Distorting what you say, provoking guilt, or playing victim
9 Withdrawing or withholding affection to punish you
10 Yelling, out-shouting or swearing to shut you down
The Contenders
11 Threatening themselves to make you feel bad for them
12 Pressuring you into doing something with no benefit for anyone but themselves
