Abusers don't look for timid, submissive people - they seek out the vibrant, strong, and self confident people. Then break them.

I know it's not the matter of the movie but how does one become abusive? I'd hate to see myself or someone else turn abusive and would like to know how to prevent it

Did u guys know that the person playing halimah is my cousin. Like walahi she is

I had that exact situation. At first, he presented himself as quiet and caring. I despise myself for falling into that. Sometimes I still question if he was actually manipulative or if I’m just crazy. I still question reality when I think about the time I spent with him. He tells everyone else that I was manipulative and abusive but I was the one being mentally abused. He’d always tell me that his friends thought I was ugly, annoying, and all of these other terrible things. He believed everything that they said. I’ve even caught him talking about me with them and laughing about it. Then, when I confronted him he was like “I never said that.” “You’re imagining things” He was extremely jealous and would pick a fight when any guy was just in my vicinity. He was possessive. I’d get scolded for wearing anything that I felt comfortable in. I feel sick just thinking about it at all. He told me I was acting like his ex to make me stop standing up for myself. He threatened to break up with me when I wouldn’t do something he wanted. I opened up to him, and he yelled at me. He even told me that gaslighting wasn’t real…. ! Anyways, that was over a year ago. I have a much better boyfriend now. At first, I was scared & had trust issues but now I realize that I love him and want to be with him forever. I’m so glad that I’m not in that previous relationship.

Good Job You All For This Video. You Don't Know How This Is Appreciated, And How Much This Will Help People If They Would Just Open Their Eyes. 🙌🙏❤️

I don't know if it's a Control Issue or just Low Self Esteem that makes a Man do this sort of Crap to a woman!! But believe me ladies when I say when then type of Mess crosse's your path!! Don't give this type of man an inch because trust and believe he will take a mile!! End Of The Lesson 😮

This behaviour is utterly unacceptable

Brother ughhh💀💀

Jake makes me cringe

We live and we learn

when this happens how do you break up with him? he knows where you live and he's so intertwined with your life so what do you do?

Free yiu my heart

en este momento?

Psychopaths have two faces, ALWAYS.

This is so sad. Brings back memories... So stressful and confusing when you're in it. 6 years of my life wasted... But it could have been worse. He contacted me last year to apologise. Said he couldn't control his emotions when he was younger. Then he launched into "you're so amazing, I have so much respect for you, you're an incredible person" blah blah blah. We haven't seen each other in 15 years, he has no idea what me and my life is like. I'm doing great and my life is great, but he didn't know that! Just more of the pathetic, grovelling, over the top praise that he used to use every time I tried to leave. When that didn't work, he used violence and threats to kill himself or me or my family. But I escaped and I'm happy! This just really hit home and made me appreciate my kind husband even more

God is showing everything in the light so glad KZbin exposing all the different types of abuse from family, friends, relationships etc

That wasn’t love bombing… that was abuse. Flat out abuse.

rah rah rah 😳😎 it’s one thing to seek exclusivity but not to talk to other guys?… moving mad🙄 isn’t he too young to decide where attends uni?… they are not married!!! … she is a shadow of herself 🥹 awesome short movie highlighting toxicity 👌🏽💯

Bigfacts addy

the worst is part is when they put on the "nice guy act" for years before the manipulatio

Omg it’s soo stressfull but it’s a must watch

TAMLA TANETTE MOORE IS THE MOST HIGH AND UNSTOPPABLE TOO..ASE AHO MOORE NATION GRAND RISING KARMA 🤟🏿🤑

These are real incidents and experiences... beautifully shown

As a autostoc person i feel scared to love again because of this fear of happening to me and i have such a good soul 😢

"Do you want me to hurt myself?" Answer: YES...go ahead. Just do it outside so you don't make a mess indoors. "No one will ever love you as much as I do" Response: Let's test that theory, shall we? "Those people are talking about you" Response: Then they have a good subject. I'm not worried, they'll move on to someone else soon enough. "That lipstick makes you look like a slut. WIPE IT OFF" Response: I like it. If you don't, GO! I'll have you replaced before it gets dark. We need to teach our children that their worth is not measured by how other people see them because how others see them is skewed by how those people see themselves. And NEVER let someone else determine your self-worth. Love yourself enough to end toxic relationships--with anyone--the minute they start down this road to manipulation and control. It is better to live alone and free than with someone who'd put you in a cage only to poke and prod at you until you lose your sanity. Ask me how I know.

Watching this truly made me sick to my stomach. I had a girlfriend come into my life and try to suck every bit of life I had in me once she succeed in getting me to fall for her after 2 years of love bombing and while quietly becoming the center of my life. The holiday scene hurt the most because I was in this same situation on a family vacation. I had no energy to give anyone and It was clear as day I was going through an extremely stressful time. This type of abuse needs more awareness for men and women. There are people out there that are so evil & insecure they can only deal with people long term that they can excursive these negative emotions on. To anyone dealing with this I know breaking the chains feels almost impossible, but there is never a happy ending with someone who wants your spirt to die.

The moment he brought up I don't believe what people say about you negging BS, I knrw the dude was an abuser. He wants to gaslight her, which he did with the phone, and the insidious way he dismantles her self confidence and support network. What a POS.

Beware love bombing its all our of narc playbook.

Id say, for teens & young adults its not always easy to see right away. Some people are more susceptible unfortunately. Narcissists have a way of making themselves the victim by manipulating situations and guilt tripping. When you like/love someone who does this to you, you try to find a silver lining- “he just really loves me & doesn’t want to lose me” or “he means well”etc. as someone whom has been gaslit/ lovebombed - it is literally soul crushing and came out of it w cptsd. It took therapy and self discovery for me to realize and even then I still see the remnants of how its affected my life after but better to be out of it than stay in it.

The random looking at the guy walking on the street is the one I have. A nutcase.

It scares me that all of this has already happened and yet I’ve made two kids and cannot leave until they are old enough. It’s not possible and I won’t even try. Don’t try to tell me otherwise because the kids need him as much as they need me. It’s not even a thought to leave right now.

So proud of you my dear granddaughter

So depressing. happy that young people can see this video. Well done.

It's Not Love and parents, please look after your yoing people. This is quite scary. These men emptionally cripple young women, they separate them from their friends and emotionally abuse them, to the point of changing their positive vibes 🙏🏾

I really liked this. I really feel for all of the women in this film. I am a man and I am sorry that I have never really understood what it must be like. Kind regards. Daniel
