Let go of the idea that bad/good people do bad/good things. Abuse isn’t a personality type, it’s a behavior.

Just curious what sort of abusive behavior
AuroraGlamour@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Ashlyn really likes sports, but she found out one day that Lena does not. Ashlyn got mad at Lena for being bad at sports despite not playing, tried to hurt(?) Lena multiple times by throwing the ball at her face/head, etc. She also expects Lena to catch a ball that she throws way over her head, behind her or in a completely different direction (Ex: If Ashlyn throws to a girl who is standing across the room from Lena and way to the right, she expects Lena to catch it, not the other girl).
Ashlyn has talked behind her back and started fights with Lena multiple times, threatening to kick her out of the friend group permanently and never speak to her again. Often, the reasons will be for petty stuff such as: not liking her disorder, not liking her tics, not liking her stutter, saying hi to her, or confusing one word for another (ex: saying “instigating” instead of “antagonizing”).
After “throwing Lena away”, so to speak, she then acts really nice and really wants Lena to talk to her again. Lena has gotten used to this by now, I’m sure.

People are complicated and can’t be described in a single word.
