Someone Who’s Mentally Abused Will Constantly Apologize

Someone who’s mentally abused will

• Constantly apologize… because they’re used to being criticized excessively.

• Hide their feelings… because they’re used to being blamed for them/ having them discredited

• Breakdown during small disagreements… because it’ll trigger a flashback to a time when their abuser exploded out of nowhere.

• Need a lot of reassurance… because they’re used to being constantly told they’re “not enough”

Please be patient, they’re trying.
