It’s called gaslighting. Constantly telling someone they are worthless sometimes make people believe it’s true when they have no other source or will to prove it otherwise. That’s what narcissist do. They keep gaslighting till you believe in everything they say. They keep playing mind tricks. It just doesn’t affect self-esteem but everything else. Get out of it as soon as possible.

@SW-User @riseofthemachine I can empathise with this, I’ve been through this, if I were you get out ASAP, the longer you stay the longer the scars would take to heal after you get out of there.

@SW-User thanks . I think I'm an easly forgiving person cause if I hold on to the grudge I'd get sick

@riseofthemachine tht does not mean you have to stay though. You can forgive and live your life

Do you mean having a SO or friend constantly telling you what's wrong with you? Haranguing you all the time?
It depends upon how invested in the relationship you are. If you're really invested, it would completely undermine your self confidence and cause great stress in the relationship,

@riseofthemachine Yes, it's very toxic. That's not how anyone should live. You both are supposed to be supporting each other in every way. Otherwise, what's the point of being in a relationship? You can get that crap from a shitty co-worker that you don't get along with.
If it were me, I'd rather be alone. I've shed all the toxic people in my life and I'm so glad I did! At times, I wish I had done it sooner. Don't just stay because you think it's easier. No one should live a life in which they're actively avoiding or just living around their SO. You have a right to be happy.
