Why is Negging Considered Emotional Abuse?
Every
so often, negging usually occurs when you meet someone in person, on a first
date, or in text messages. Negging is the beginning of an unhealthy relationship.
This term, negging means negative comments or feedback. It is done to make
someone feel defenseless, less than, and have low self-esteem. Yet, this form
of emotional abuse is one way a person influences the other person.
Negging can be
done to women and men. However, negging is frequently done to women more than
men. Women get insulted by their body image, what they wear, how they walk, and
other features the man might use against them. These insults can be stopped to
prevent further damage to the relationship. Here are ways to stop
negging.
1. Ignore them
when they insult you.
2. Say something
funny after the insult.
3. Tell them how
you feel about the negative comments.
4. Do not throw
an insult at them.
5. Change the
subject in the discussion after you hear an insult.
6. Stay quiet and
walk away from them.
7. Do not argue
with them.
8. Be confident
with yourself and defend yourself.
9. Do not make
comparisons with them about each other's looks, body image, or other features.
10. End the
relationship if they will not stop insulting you.
Negging is a
problematic issue in unhealthy relationships. A person might also do insults to
feel good about themselves. He might have doubts about the relationship.
Nonetheless, he might want to need to control you emotionally. Additionally,
the person who insults the woman might have had past relationships with
insults.
No matter what
the case is, negging should not be in a healthy relationship. It is different
than nagging. Although nagging and negging have negative effects, they can be
stopped to make a healthy relationship. A healthy relationship should have
positive feedback and not a negative one. Here are links for more resources
