Five of the harshest ways to emotionally abuse someone.

1. Gaslighting: There is no worse emotional damage than making someone question their sanity and reality. This is far worse than even Physical Abuse I believe. This is # 1 in my book! And repeated gaslighting can do long term damage.

2. Betrayal: Here you make a person question their self worth. This is right up there with gaslighting, damaging as hell.

3. Physical abuse: While bruises heal, can still have a damaging effect.

4. Lying: Repetitive lying is very emotionally abusive. Not only will you make your partner not trust you, they will have to work through this abuse in future relationships with trust issues.

5. Silent Treatment: Ignoring a person to punish them. Purposely doing so for control is very hurtful.

I would rather be physically abused than emotionally abused. Emotional abuse can take years to sort out through all your relationships in life.
