1. Asking Questions Even When You Know the Answer

If you have ever been berated, you may doubt yourself, even when you know you are right. Due to this, you may find that you ask a million questions.

2. Constantly Saying “Sorry”

Children of abuse may feel as though they were never able to do anything right. In turn, they always apologize, even when they didn't do any wrong.

3. Second Guessing Everything

When you have lived in the chaotic world of emotional abuse, you never truly believe in anything. Instead, you may always be in fear of something bad happening.

4. You Are Tough, But Also Very Sensitive

During a hard childhood, you learn to be tough, because you have to be. However, you also experience a number of emotions at a young age, causing you to be especially sensitive to your own emotions as well as others.

5. You Are Indecisive

It's harder to make decisions if you spent your childhood hearing that you weren't good enough.

6. You Are Self-Disciplined

In order to combat a parent or caregiver that constantly was searching for what you hadn't done, or had done wrong, you may become a perfectionist. You are timely, clean, and organized. Many victims of abuse learn to over-do because they want to people please.

7. You May Be Sensitive To Loud Noises

If you have been raised in fear, you may be used to being yelled at, and associate loud noises with abuse.

8. Victims Of Emotional Abuse Can Be Introverted

So many victims of abuse may be afraid of contact with people, and can sometimes try to distance themselves as much as possible.

9. You Have A Defensive Nature

You may perceive people as negative or offensive because of your previous abuse.
