Trait 4: Anxious and depressed.
Have you ever encountered someone who always feels anxious and depressed? Did you try to talk to that person and ask how they are or if they are all right? That person could be a victim of mental abuse from narcissists. Mental abuse is highly draining. It lingers longer than bruises that heal with a pack of ice bags. Mental abuse is tough to forget. It only takes a word for mental abuse, but that one word cuts deeper than a knife, especially if your abuser is somebody you cannot distance yourself from or somebody whom you always see. Of course, the anticipation of further abuse cannot make a person happy and positive; it never did. Instead, it makes you behave depressingly and anxiously, wherein you just want everything to end. It keeps you questioning what’s next or what else. If you ever feel this way, consult a professional for help.
Trait 5: Have no self-control.
The mind is the central control of every human being. It controls the whole body and self. Everything starts here before it is put into action and behavior. It processes the situation before producing reactions. The thing with mental abuse is that it targets primary control, resulting in the parts going disobedient. The victim loses control of oneself, inept at restraining one’s emotions, desires, and impulses, which is not so good. A lack of self-control will only ruin everything. It makes one say words they could not take back or do things they will only regret.
