    Oh yeah, honey!

    If this verbal abuse came from your family of origin, particularly one, or both parents, it's very possible that you may have developed a trauma bond of sorts. If you have this trauma bond issue you probably attract, and are subconsciously attracted to abusive people. It's unpleasant, and unfair, but sadly we are often attracted to that which is familiar rather than that which is best for us. I wouldn't be surprised if you had some degree off PTSD.

    A great example of people who have similar problems would be the fact that people with Borderline personality disorder are oftentimes attracted to, and attract those who Narcissistic personality disorder; and vice versa.

    I think you should try to seek out some help for getting through the issues that the verbal abuse has caused you.

    i was not abused. my parents would yell constantly at me. call me every name in the book, but it was what i was used to. back then i didn't care. now, i realize it is probably why for so long i was so sensitive, and why for the longest time and even still now i feel so different and less than others. i also always get so upset about doing or saying things that could maybe have hurt someones feelings. i feel so horrible about it. i come up with some excuse to talk to the person i have potentially upset and realize that they are just fine then i get relieved. i guess people yelling and screaming and calling names can have an affect on a person.
