Psychological abuse

A lot of talk of abusive relationships, but remember that there are many forms and it crosses the divide.

As I'm male, well, basically, you can punch me kick me or do whatever you want to me physically. But the there's one pain that is guaranteed to bring me to my knees, keep me from work, distract me from my everyday life, make me feel like giving up, and that's psychological games within relationships. I guess you gals have often to deal with both forms of abuse, and my heart goes out to you if you have or are going through such mess.

We have a duty to one another not to engage in these kind of games.

Examples being: pulling people into your life, making them feel welcome and warm, only to quickly push them out again for no apparent reason. Extreme flirtatious behaviour followed by denial: 'I wasn't flirting all evening, it's all in your mind!' etc etc etc

There are many examples. These are two that I have had to deal with quite recently.

Over to you. what have you experienced, or have you ever been the 'psychological abuser?'. I'd be interested to hear.

Even physical abuse leaves psychological scars. The bruises and broken bones may heal, but the nightmares tend to last forever. So does mistrusting everyone else that you meet in the future.

I feel like I do that kinda things but ppl say I don't so don't ask me, but I know someone that has a dad thats getting abused in that way always telling my friend him/her is useless and can't do nothing right and that kinda things it's sad the person doesn't belive him him/herself at all

That sounds complicated. There's not enough details to go on from what you've written above -each statement is cancelling out/deconstructing the other.

I'm a criminal when it comes to psychological abuse. Sometimes I do it without even noticing. I've done the exact thing you've mentioned....flirting with a guy just to get compliments, but when I realized what I did, I deny it ever happened. It comes with this need of mine to have my confidence boosted. To be quite honest...sometimes I find myself taking advantage of people's stupidity. Or should I say I USED to.

But now....I am no longer the criminal, I am the victim and you're right, it sucks.

Pretty much my whole life I have been psychologically abused. Anything you could imagine
And I will have to agree. psychological abuse is the worst form of abuse because unlike bruises it does not fade away.

We should all do somethign to help change this..it is a very serious issue.

Here's how to stop the psychological abuse of others. Three words:

Empathy, empathy and empathy. Put yourself in anothers shoes before you crucify someone elses head.
