Yes. Being abused take a toll on the human brain. Everyone reacts differently. Staying silent is normal but make sure to go to the cops and speak up at some point.

Of course! Majority of victims stay quiet, and this is the abuser's goal. Do not allow people to use their words to hurt you. Physical harm may break your bones, but words scar the soul.

Yes because you are smart. You check what are the good outcome of being chaotic, versus the outcome of being calm. So to answer your question you are smart. One thing, though, defend yourself, explain or else they wont respect you at all, and they will continue. So just explain yourself, a simple, clear explanation. If they wont respect you, say ""you dont talk to me like that, please"".

Being verbally abused is tough. People react very differently and being silent is a normal reaction. It can help to know where this silence comes from - apathy, fear, anger, indifference. That can help you change matters if you want to. Also I would recommend talking to a third person about it, so you're not alone with those negative words.

I personally think being silent is the right thing to do, never ever answer back , never put yourself on their level, let them talk, let them say Bullshit about you or whatever cause silence is the key to be stronger, silence kills them. My only advice is stay strong and ignore everything. Nobody has the right to judge you.

Yes, in a way it is because you are being abused in a verbal way. That can frighten you, make you feel embarrassed and insecure. But you don't need to feel ashamed of it, you should think about talking to a professional, to help you more than I can in this situation.

Yes and no. The only person that will be able to tell you if it is ok is you. Are you comfortable being quiet when you are being verbally abused?

Yes, it is. We have different ways of reacting when we get verbally abused. Some of us choose the more aggressive approach of retaliation. Others choose the less aggressive approach of remaining silent. Either way is okay, as long as we know that what the other party is saying does not define us.

Absolutely :) Being verbally abused has many effects on how victims will express themselves. They have seen the power of words, and that may cause them to not want to speak. Abuse has also lead to introversion, and that causes a lack of expression in oneself. Your silence may not be 100% due to your abuse, however it is definitely a plausible symptom.

Absolutely it is normal to be silent when you are being verbally abused. Being the victim of any type of abuse can strip you of your power, dignity, strength and ultimately your ability to speak. You may feel weak and unable to speak, and that's okay, but make sure that you aren't scared into not getting yourself help or out of the situation because you don't deserve to be abused.
