Growing up in a bad environment means you have no actual concept of how people are supposed to treat one another; then when you get older and enter into relationships, it's like impossible to judge if you're being treated well or not
Like you read things about relationships and ur like "oh wait that's....abusive? Really? Is it? I....didn't know?"
Or like "huh is that how people.....respect one another? Really? Sounds fake."
Or like "huh is that how people.....respect one another? Really? Sounds fake."
When you grow up with basically everyone in your life being cruel to you in one way or another you don't know what actual kindness looks like. And of course that leads to you getting taken advantage of and abused as an adult because you just don't know
So like it's a cycle that perpetuates itself. You don't know what it means to be treated well so people with bad intentions immediately see your vulnerability and since you don't realize ppl are abusing you, you assume that's how relationships are supposed to be and go with it
I remember once reading about how being yelled at by a spouse/friend/family member (when you, yourself, are an adult) is abusive behavior and I was literally like "but yelling is like 50% of how ppl talk to me this can't be real"
