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.
