8 Signs You're Being Emotionally Abused

In This Article:

Emotional abuse may be harder to pinpoint than physical abuse, but it's still very valid. Here are the signs that you're in an unhealthy relationship.

1. He slowly isolates you from your friends

A man who truly loves you will let you have friends and isn't threatened by the time you spend with other people because he is secure in your relationship

2. He doesn't want you to have any interests or hobbies

There should be other things making you happy besides him. If he wants to be your one source of happiness, there's a problem.

3. You're crying more than you're having fun with him

Relationships should be fun. If you leave a conversation feeling worse about yourself rather than better, you're in an abusive relationship.

4. You feel like you're unable to leave this relationship

You should be in a relationship because you want to, not because you feel like you have to. And if you feel like this guy is your last chance for love, this isn't even love to begin with. You will find someone that treats you right.

5. Talking to them makes you frustrated

If you find yourself repeating the same thing that annoys you over and over, and they don't bother to fix it, they obviously don't care enough about your feelings to try to adjust.

6. They demand all of your time

If you're relieved when you have to go to class or an extracurricular because it's your only time away from your boyfriend, then this isn't a healthy relationship. It's also a bit concerning because they should have things going on in their lives as well, and shouldn't rely on you to entertain them 24/7.

7. They show no remorse about hurting you

That's toxic behavior.

8. He cheats on you

This is an obvious sign that he doesn't care about your relationship.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
