Describe what a person who has experienced emotional abuse would act like?
Question:
Answers:
Yes indeedy! right here!
I was depressed and unable to function well for many years.
My mother was emotionally abusive.
Also all my boyfriends were usually emotionally abusive.
I don't know to this day how I managed to find emotionally abusive men so well for so long but I did.
You wouldn't know it to look at me or talk to me. I was attractive and intelligent with a collage degree. It's just that my life did not go well at all.
Other Answers:
I think the behaviour would be extreme - either extremely violent or extremely silent/withdrawn.
The personalities of people who experience emotional abuse can't fit into one box. Generally, however, they can have difficulty with relationships and with intimacy.
you can tell these when the dont trust anyone they build a wall around them selves and their heart etc...
They withdraw from their friends. & when you speak to them it seems they have nothing to say (about general things even). I am speaking from experience as a person who was emotionally abused for 4 and a half years.
There is no specific way they act. I knew someone very close to me who was physically abused and you could never tell just by looking at them(unless there were bruises, obviously). But then I knew also knew emotionally abused person and they were VERY reserved and would do anything to avoid being in public. This person was hesistant to speak up, as if they were worthless. It was almost sad. There was this underlying fear that since one coward had treats them bad, everyone else would belittle them as well. Very sad. And if anyone is EVER in an abusive relationship: GET OUT. And don't stick around for the kids, trust me, its better for them if YOU are alive and in a good state of mind. And if you know someone, please help them, they don't know how to seek help.

abuse needs to stop.
They have troubles expressing their feelings and they show very little emotions and they have troubles conversing with people
They will probably have very low self-esteem. Sadly, they will probably also be emotionally abusive to others. It is a learned behavior.
It varies with every case. You can't look at everyone's actions and tell if they have been abused or not. I was emotionally abused as a child. At the time, I seemed like a very normal child, but since then, I have had severe depression. Abuse affects everyone differently.
Depression, low self esteem, talks poorly about themselves, keeps to themselves, may not have many friends, may stay at home or inside a lot, avoid busy places, avoid activities with other people.

TEEN YRS THIS PERSON WOULD BE AN ACTOR/ACTRESS, THIS WOULD LAST UP UNTIL HE/SHE TOTALLY WORN TILL MAYBE 40 OR MORE. AFTER THIS HE/SHE EVEN MORE INSURE DOES NOT WANT ANY PEOPLE HE/SHE LOVES OUT OF SIGHT. FEELS THREATENED BY ANY LITTLE THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE THE THINGS HE/SHE THINKS SHE LOVES AWAY. HAS A REAL PROBLEM DETERMINING WHAT IS REAL/RIGHT/WRONG IN LIFE. WILL ALWAYS LOOK FOR TRUE REAL THINGS/PEOPLE. TEST PEOPLE FOR THEIR TRUE LOVE/LOYALTY FOR HE/SHE. LIVE IN A WORLD TOTALLY NEVER WANTING TO BR ALONE AND ONLY WANTING TO BE WITH PEOPLE HE/SHE LOVES. ITS SO SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE,
When a person is emotionally abused, he or she has difficulty interacting. He or she can either be extremely cold or erratic..and kind of withdrawing himself/herself since he/she feels they lost their self worth..they often blame themselves for any wrong doings.. they don't want discussions on how they feel..sometimes they keep the hurt deep within theirselves..others create a fantasy world.that person could always demean or belittle themselves and they always feel pathetic.others would be violent
Very important for the people to have a very strong support group. They have to established trust again. Emotional abuse is also one form of violence, aside from physical and economical abuse..One must be sensitive
And observe the body language..they get nervous easily, sometime they dont eye contact with the person they are talking with, downcast eyes..they stutter and stammer..they twist and turn fingers..silence means a lot too.if it is a child, they show a lot of fear and bed wetting is common
lost of self confidence and interest in other activities they use to do before..depression.
