Do you dread the presence of someone because, for some reason, you are never good enough in their eyes? Whatever you do or however hard you try they will always find reason to criticise, embarrass, blame you or make others have low regard for you? They seem to find joy in putting you down and making you feel insecure and insignificant? If yes, you could be in an emotionally abusive relationship with that person. As with other forms of abuse, help is at hand. Psychotherapy could help you find your way back to your confident self.
