You are afraid of your abuser
•
You feel like you have to walk on eggshells around the other person
•
You feel like you cannot share things about yourself with them for fear that they will mock or ridicule you
•
You're afraid to go out in public with them because of what they will say about you in front of other people
•
You feel threatened
•
You feel as if you are constantly being put down about how you look, think, act, dress, or talk
•
You feel inferior or ashamed about who you are
•
They yell at you but then suggest that you are overly sensitive or that you don't have a sense of humor
•
They overreact to small problems and then blame you for the resulting argument
•
They suggest that they are the victim and try to make you feel guilty about something they accuse you of doing
•
They hide this verbal abuse when you are around other people but act completely different when you are alone

Does the person have to be experiencing ALL of the signs?

No. Abuse takes many forms, even more than listed, so not everything will happen to one person.
