Adult-to-adult narcissistic abuse

Narcissistic abuse is a way of hurting someone else's feelings or making them feel bad about themselves without using physical violence. This type of abuse usually happens between adults. It is a type of psychological abuse that makes someone feel bad about themselves and prevents them from feeling good about themselves. Narcissistic abuse can include criticism, put-downs, demands, and unreasonable expectations. It can also include breaking trust and taking advantage of another person. The abuser may try to control their victim through guilt, intimidation, or manipulation. Victims of narcissistic abuse often feel confused, anxious, and depressed. They may also feel like they don't have any power in the relationship, and they may find it difficult to stand up for themselves.
