Here are 12 surprising forms of verbal abuse you might recognize:1. Judging or CriticizingThe verbal abuser is constantly correcting you, telling you what you’re doing wrong or how it could be done better, or subtly suggesting you don’t quite measure up in some way. Sometimes they disguise their critiques or judgement in the form of “helpful†suggestions or sharing their “expert†knowledge when you don’t ask for it.
Then if you call them out, they act hurt that you misunderstood their intentions. “I was only trying to help.†But your intuition tells you clearly they were putting you down.
The abuser might also communicate their disapproval or judgement through their facial expressions, such as eye-rolling, pursed lips, or annoyed looks.
