Signs of Emotional Abuse
There are common characteristics of people who have lived through emotional abuse. Let me begin by saying, the purpose of knowing these characteristics is not so you can use them as crutches for the rest of your life, and blame the person who has perpetrated the emotional injuries upon you.
First, read my personal philosophy here. Then, look at the list below.
If you find you have some or many of these characteristics, and you don’t have to have all of them, you may have experienced emotional abuse along this journey called life. Once you know, then you can learn to deal…
difficulty completing things
has trouble having fun since childhood was stolen, lost or repressed
trouble accepting compliments
judging self without mercy, expecting perfection from self
lying when you don’t need to (whoever really should NEED to?)
super responsible or super irresponsible
often take responsibility for problems but not as easily for successes
feels different from others, like an outsider
constantly seek approval
overreact to things beyond your control
expect others to know what you want (so often disappointed you stop asking for what you want/need)
continue to attract emotionally unavailable people into our lives
trouble with intimate relationships
intimidated by anger and personal criticism
we live lives as victims, giving over our power to those we love as we’ve learned to not trust ourselves
we feel guilty when we stand up for ourselves, always putting other people before our own needs
