Calling you names - idiot, asshole, bitch, whore, etc...
Putting the person down as inadequate, inferior or incapable (you never, you are no good at, why can't you do it right etc...) or making themselves out to be the person who is always right, has to do it all, etc...
Trying to change the person - not accepting them as they are
Using emotion (crying or anger) in discussions, arguments, disagreements to make the other person feel as though they can't openly speak their mind.
Blaming the other person for whatever goes wrong
Blaming the other person for how you feel - you did this to me, you hurt my feelings, you made me angry, you made me cry, you...(first) and that made me (second)
Embarrassing the person in public
Being put down or invalidated rather than built up and validated
Dismisses or criticizes the other persons feelings or opinions
Makes the victim feel like they are walking on eggshells trying to keep the abuser happy to avoid outbursts.
