Are you feeling anxious and scared of what comes next
Are you being put down and belittled
Do you feel like your opinion doesn't matter
Are you feeling like you have to walk on eggshells
Do you feel like you are being judged and criticized
Are you always being put in the position to defend yourself
Do you feel like you have to change to please them
Are you feeling like you can't express yourself
Do you feel like you don't have a voice
Are you constantly being isolated and distanced
Are you being gaslighted and feeling confused
Are your feelings being dismissed and ignored
Do you feel like you have to justify your emotions
Are you always being accused of things you haven't done
Do you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough
Are you feeling tearful and low in confidence
Do you feel like your natural emotions are being suppressed
Are you being threatened and made to feel scared
Do you feel like you can't tell anyone what's going on
Are you feeling like you have to keep it all a secret
Do you feel like you don't have control over what's happening
Are you feeling like you're not allowed to make decisions
Are you constantly feeling like you're walking on eggshells
Are you feeling like you have to do everything for them
Do you feel like you are constantly living in fear
Are you feeling like you are being emotionally abused
It's time to take a stand and take back control of your life.
The subtle signs of emotional manipulation
Can be a silent poison in a relationship
It is oftentimes hard to detect the signs
But it can often be found in a single instance
Often times, the abuser will try to isolate
They will try to limit your friends and family
Without them, they can take control of your fate
And that's when it's time to watch carefully
The abuser will always try to gaslight
They will turn the blame to make you think it's your fault
They will try to make you question what you know
And make you think that your feelings are at fault
They will make you feel like you can't express
They will try to make you feel ashamed
They will make you feel like you're not enough
And make you feel like you're to blame
They will make you feel like you can't do anything right
And make you feel like your opinion is wrong
They will make you feel like you're nothing
And make you feel like you don't belong
They will try to control your behavior
And make you feel like you have no choice
They will make you feel like you're not allowed
To have an opinion or to voice
They will make you feel like you can't trust
They will try to make you feel ashamed
And they will make you feel like you have to
Conform to their standards and their ways
They will make you feel like you can't win
They will try to make you feel powerless
They will make you feel like you're nothing
And make you feel like you're worthless
They will make you feel like you're alone
And make you feel like you're helpless
They will make you feel like you're crazy
And make you feel like you're worthless
These are all signs of emotional abuse
That can be hard to detect and see
If you feel like you are a victim
It's time to seek help and break free
