VERBAL ABUSE: HOW TO SAVE YOURSELF
Seven Signs You're In A Verbally Abusive Relationship

A checklist from the book that woke up Brandy:


1. He seems irritated or angry with you several times a week. When you ask why he's mad, he either denies it or tells you it's in some way your fault.

2. When you feel hurt and try to talk with him, the issues never get resolved. He might refuse to discuss your upset feelings by saying "You're just trying to start an argument!" or claiming he has no idea what you're talking about.

3. You frequently feel frustrated because you can't get him to understand your intentions.

4. You're upset—not so much about concrete issues like how much time to spend together, but about communication: what he thinks you said and what you heard him say.

5. You sometimes think, "What's wrong with me? I shouldn't feel so bad."

6. He seems to take the opposite view from you on almost everything, and his opinion isn't stated as "I think," but as if you're wrong and he's right.

7. You can't recall saying "Cut it out!" or "Stop it!"

Answer 2

Verbal abuse can be very subtle. If you feel like the person you are with turns every situation around to make it look like it's always your fault, it's probably happening. If someone is calling you names, telling you you are stupid or making you feel worse about yourself, you are probably being verbally abused. I'm assuming you are asking this in regards to a relationship. If the relationship isn't bringing out the best in you, get out.

verbal abuse is when someone calls you names, tells you that you are stupid, can't do anything right, it's anything that belittles, demeans and degrades you verbally... if someone tells you you are nothing without them, that you are lucky to have them because you can't do any better... anything that makes you feel less of a person is verbal abuse.. there a so many different kinds of abuse, verbal, physical, emotional, financial, sexual.. if you have questions go to your local heath dept., or police station and ask someone for information... any kind of abuse is bad... even if it's just "occasionally".

Answer 4

verbal abuse is when someone is talking to you like crap. Like they are talking down to u and making you feel bad. Calling you names or talking bad about you. It's not right if someone is talking to you like that or making you feel bad. If they are you don't have to put up with that.
