@elly.psychologist: If you keep ending up in an emotionally abusive relationship and asking yourself what's wrong with you, the truth is usually less about who you're picking and more about what you do the moment something feels off. No emotionally abusive relationship looks that way at the beginning. If it did, most people would walk straight past it. Instead, it tends to start with someone putting their best foot forward, sometimes with an intensity that makes you feel uniquely chosen, like you're somehow the exception to everything you've heard about relationships like this. That intensity is worth paying attention to, because it's often exactly what makes the first uncomfortable moment so easy to dismiss. A comment, a criticism, a passing remark about your friends, and you decide it's too small to matter, especially when everything else feels this good. But your gut still noticed. The unease was real, it just got outvoted by how much you didn't want to lose what felt so good. The way through isn't becoming guarded or suspicious from the start. It's learning to sit with that feeling rather than explaining it away, and giving yourself permission to wait and watch for a pattern before deciding something is nothing. An emotionally abusive relationship always shows its pattern eventually. The question is whether you let yourself see it early or much later, once your confidence has already taken the hit Official accounts and resources: www.ellyanastasiades.com #emotionallyabusiverelationship #emotionalabuse #relationshipabuse #relationshiptok #relationshipissues
