You feel confused and inadequate in their presence
They speak down to you and you feel small
They make you the brunt of jokes and disrespect
They make fun of your weaknesses and strengths
If you have a gift or talent, they belittle it and you
They show no positive interest in your life
They gossip about you and make up slander
They turn others against you
They show open contempt toward you
They are never there for you in hard times
They constantly unfavorably compare you to others
They hold grudges for things you did or didn't do
They try to make you pay for perceived wrongs
They constantly scapegoat you
They put you down not lift you up
They find hundreds of little ways to belittle you
They leave you out of conversations and activities
They treat you like an unworthy outsider
They freely criticize you and everything you do
You may love them (they are family or friends) but you wish you had no contact with them.
