LOH Contest 280# Tolerating abusive behavior because of social pressure is a very bad idea. (ENG/ESP)

in Ladies of Hive2 months ago

Good evening, blog friends, here I am again participating in this fantastic community contest. This time, I've chosen a question that really struck me:

" Have you ever tolerated abusive behavior from someone close to you due to social pressure? If so, how did you handle it?"

And the answer is yes, I tolerated abusive behavior because of social pressure. Unfortunately, I did it for a long time, both within my family, in some relationships, and at work. I believe it all started with some family members, especially one. It's a sad, complicated story, but let's just say this person never treated me well and was abusive toward me, not with beatings and physical violence, but certainly psychological violence, fear, and blackmail. I had to put up with it because you can't not tolerate it, or saying no to someone in your family is not socially acceptable and even considered morally reprehensible by many. Obviously, I then internalized this and found myself in a relationship with abusive dynamics, where even there, out of fear, especially of judgment and social expectations, I couldn't get out of it. Did I feel pressured? Yes, a slimy pressure, because you know that if you end a relationship like that there will be repercussions and then everyone told me that we had been together for too many years, that we lived together and he earned more than me, that who knows where I would find a man like that again but no one knew him like I did and no one knew the hell I was going through in that relationship.

Buenas noches, amigos del blog, aquí estoy de nuevo participando en este fantástico concurso de la comunidad. Esta vez, he elegido una pregunta que me impactó mucho:

" ¿Alguna vez ha tolerado un comportamiento abusivo por parte de alguien cercano a usted debido a la presión social? Si es así, ¿cómo lo manejaste?"

Y la respuesta es sí, toleré comportamientos abusivos por presión social. Desafortunadamente, lo hice durante mucho tiempo, tanto en mi familia como en algunas relaciones y en el trabajo. Creo que todo empezó con algunos familiares, especialmente con uno. Es una historia triste y complicada, pero digamos que esta persona nunca me trató bien y fue abusiva conmigo, no con golpes ni violencia física, pero sí con violencia psicológica, miedo y chantaje. Tuve que aguantarlo porque no puedes no tolerarlo, o porque decirle que no a alguien de tu familia no es socialmente aceptable e incluso muchos lo consideran moralmente reprobable. Obviamente, luego lo interioricé y me encontré en una relación con dinámicas abusivas, de la que, incluso allí, por miedo, sobre todo al juicio y a las expectativas sociales, no pude salir. ¿Me sentí presionada? Sí, una presión repugnante, porque sabes que si terminas una relación así habrá repercusiones y luego todos me decían que habíamos estado juntos demasiados años, que vivíamos juntos y que él ganaba más que yo, que quién sabe dónde encontraría a otro hombre así, pero nadie lo conocía como yo y nadie sabía el infierno por el que estaba pasando en esa relación.

The same thing happened a few times at work, especially when I found myself on the verge of burnout from a job that was killing me with stress. But since you have to keep a job, even if it's horrible, when I talked about leaving it, everyone judged me because in Italy there's a culture of sacrifice at all costs. Even if you're sick, underpaid, or bullied at work, you don't leave for any reason. I tolerated a lot because of social pressure, whether real or perceived. How did I resolve it? As I got older, I started not caring about social pressure, what others think, and not letting myself be influenced by the fear of other people's judgment. Abusive behavior shouldn't be tolerated, even if everyone implicitly or explicitly tells you to do so!

Lo mismo me pasó varias veces en el trabajo, sobre todo cuando estaba al borde del agotamiento por un trabajo que me estaba matando de estrés. Pero como hay que conservar un trabajo, aunque sea horrible, cuando hablaba de dejarlo, todos me juzgaban porque en Italia existe una cultura de sacrificio a toda costa. Aunque estés enfermo, mal pagado o sufras acoso laboral, no te vas por ningún motivo. Toleré mucho por la presión social, ya fuera real o percibida. ¿Cómo lo superé? Con el tiempo, dejé de preocuparme por la presión social, por lo que pensaran los demás y por no dejarme influenciar por el miedo al juicio ajeno. ¡No se debe tolerar el comportamiento abusivo, aunque todo el mundo te lo diga implícita o explícitamente!

I agree with you; abuse should not be tolerated under any circumstances, even if everyone tells you to or because of social pressure. The decision you made over time not to let yourself be influenced by fear is very valuable. Have a nice afternoon,


Coincido contigo, no se debe tolerar el abuso bajo ningún concepto, aunque todo el mundo te lo diga o por la presión social, la decisión que tomaste con el tiempo de no dejarte influenciar por temor es muy valioso,
Que tengas una linda tarde,

Es muy frustrante tener que tolerar malos tratos de una persona cercana o con un relación laboral, sobre todo porque a la mujer siempre la juzgan e incluso la culpan. Un abrazo

My dear, that is for them. Once the shoe i am wearing is paining me, i must remove it. In the same way, I can't even tolerate bully in my place of work unless it is coming from my fellow workmates.
