Don't be so disingenuous. We agreed no such thing.
While, in an environment where there is psychological abuse taking place, not 100% of the population will necessarily suffer the psychological abuse, in the environment you described, 100% of the population was suffering psychological abuse.

Originally posted by dj2beckerProbably not. You described what you described. If you made yourself numb to it when you were a child, then that is just what often happens when children are psychologically abused.

Lets recap:
1. I admitted that the environment was one where psychological abuse took place.
2. I admitted that there were people who suffered psychological abuse.
3. I claimed that I believed I did not particularly suffer the psychological abuse that others suffered based upon the dictionary definition of 'abuse'.

7. You don't know this for a fact and you are just clutching at straws.
You personally were fully exposed to this psychological abuse (how could you not be?) and had your beliefs and behaviour controlled by others in a position of authority. To distance yourself from this psychological abuse while being immersed within it for 24 years is nonsensical.
If your account is genuine then your cultist mindset makes you susceptible to all forms of indoctrination. I don't think you have it within you to be objective or rational.

Do you think everyone who is exposed to psychological abuse suffers from it? Yes or No?

That's not what he said.
Perhaps he needs to spend longer reading replies rather than spontaneously guessing what is being said to him.
