Domestic Abuse Term: Negging
Negging is when someone deliberately undermines another personβs confidence by disguising criticism as a compliment.
This can be subtle but has a lasting impact on self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.
Recognising this behaviour is an important step in identifying unhealthy or controlling relationships.
