Verbal Abuse? ~ How Do You Deal With It

Have you ever been verbally abused? Have you gone through a situation where you are constantly abused, and curses are being rained down on you?
In some cases you are innocent and you haven't caused anyone any harm but for some reasons, they choose to abuse you, mock you, ridicule you, and some are as bad as cursing you.

You know our society has made it seem like the only time we tagged something as violence is when the fist is involved, or when devices/tools like machete, cutlasses, gun, axe, dagger, etc are brought into the picture.
We have tagged violent only with the use of these tools forgetting that even our lip, our mouth is a strong weapon.
Our tongue can ruin, it can destroy. It can cause even worst harm to a person than any other weapon can ever cause.
This is why we are advised to use our tongues wisely.
The same tongue that can profess and confess goodness can also destroy.

Verbal Abuse?

How do you handle or deal with such?
A person who is verbally abused is most likely to fall prey to depression.
In most cases, some lead to suicide.
Some people take the things that are said to them very seriously and words are readily registered in their heart, mind, and their entire being.
Such people are very emotional and the only thing that gets to them are the words said to them.

And if peradventure such people fall a victim to verbal abuse, it can lead to mental instability or psychological problems depending on how intense the whole situation is or was

How can we help such people? We can't always tell those people who are abused as such, we can't help them.
But if you must look closely, those types of people are very reserved.

Verbal Abuse is very bad. Its kills even faster than a sword.
We should be careful with our words with people even in our anger.
We might never be able to take back everything we said when we become calm.
We might not be able to erase everything from the mind or heart of whoever was at the receiving ends.
Don't use your tongue to destroy another person's life.
Stop abusing your fellow human.
They aren't corpses but human beings with life in them and blood running through their veins.
They breathe the same air and oxygen you breathe.
Let's become better people and say no to verbal abuse.



If you have been in such a situation and came out successfully, what can you share with us to better help those who are in need because I know most of us have gone through something similar before or closely related.
Please do share your opinion if you have a way out and know ways to tackle this problem, thank you

Verbal abuse is not talked about enough, people often assume that for it to be abuse it has to be violent and maybe result in injury.

Those who have experienced verbal abuse will tell you how much they prefer physical injury to what is being said to them.

One way to get rid of verbal abuse will be for us to consciously treat one another as we would like to be treated. Speak as you'd like to be spoken to.

Yes, dear. Many feel that physical abuse is worst but what of those that words don't sit well with them?

And my dear you are right about treating others how we want to be treated.
Thanks for stopping by

I have been verbally destroyed by someone before but have progressed a lot towards healing and the best medicine to recover, as well as protecting yourself from further attacks is self-love 💗
