This week I
decided to talk about psychological abuse because it seems to interest people a
lot. They don`t understand how it works. I asked a lot of people what they
would like to learn about that has to do with abuse and most of them chose
psychological abuse. I know I’ve already given you guys a short description
about it but today I’m going to go a little bit further.
Psychological
abuse can often be known as emotional abuse because they are very similar. It
can also be known as chronic verbal aggression. Psychological abuse is the same
thing as getting bullied verbally or cyber bullied because it`s when someone
says a lot of rude things to you or try to lower your self-esteem a few times a
week or even a few times a day. This can also be caused by you. If you don`t
think you have enough value or you think you`re worthless you are abusing
yourself psychologically.
Most people
abuse others psychologically to make themselves feel better. Normally people
psychologically abuse people when they`re jealous of them.
There are many different ways that you can abuse someone psychologically for example:
-insulting
-name calling
-yelling at them
-swearing at them
-isolation
-threats
-lying
-not telling them something they have a right to know
-treating them like slaves
-treating them like children
In my opinion, when you psychologically abuse someone it`s pretty pointless. If you call soemone fat it won`t make you skinner, calling someone stupid won`t make you any smarter. All it does is show that you`re willing to sink to that level and make others feel bad in order to feel good about yourself. In all honesty, doing this to try and feel better about yourself only makes you look bad. It makes others think less of you and not want to be your friend because they don`t want to have to deal with how you`re acting.
