ON ABUSE
While physical/sexual abuse appears to be one of the most prevalent and obvious forms of abuse, there are also toxic traits/ behavior in people that turn out to abuse others verbally, emotionally, psychologically. These are also things to watch out for.
Even without hitting you or being violent, a person can damage your sense of esteem and self worth.
And this applies to other relationships, not just romantic/love relationships.
They belittle your accomplishments, they never have any encouraging thing to say, they address you with derogatory words, they take delight in humiliating you in public, they cut you off from the relationships you have with other people, manipulative behavior etc..
When things like this happen over and over and over and over again, it is abusive.
And the thing is, a vast majority of us have experienced some level of psychological abuse from either an adult family member, guardian, teacher, peers or any other person when we were much younger. Whether it was intentional or not. I can relate to this.
That is why at this point, what you need is not someone that will add insult to injury. You should not surround yourself with a person or people that will further dampen an esteem that you are working to build again.
Don't continually be with persons who always spread negative energy. Listening to negative words all the time can poison your mind and dampen your confidence.
And the interesting thing is that this form of abuse is very subtle. They don't leave physical scars but has killed a lot of voices we should be hearing today.
As much as we are making sure to stay away from negative energy, it's important that we are also working on ourselves constantly to spread positive energy and not add to the level of toxicity that exists already.
As much as you are watching out for red flags, sha make sure say you sef no be red flag.
My point -- no one is saying we have to be perfect, but we all have to deliberately work on building good character.
If you need a guide that can help you improve confidence and self-esteem, you should read A Chat With A Skinny Girl by TG John. I have read it and it blessed me. You can send a message to get the book. It is FREE. 😊
