They isolate me from friends or family
Anonymous discussion. Educational guidance only; not medical, psychiatric, legal or emergency advice.
They dislike most people close to me and discourage me from meeting them. I feel more dependent now.
Isolation is a serious red flag because it reduces support and increases control.
This may involve safety risk. Educational guidance is not enough when there is violence, coercion, threats, stalking, forced isolation, child safety risk, self-harm risk or serious intimidation. In such cases, prioritise immediate safety and local professional or emergency support.
Before acting, separate facts, feelings, needs and patterns. A relationship improves when people can name the pattern without attacking the person.
Practical next steps
Reconnect with trusted people privately and seek professional safety advice if leaving or resisting may escalate risk.
If there is immediate danger, call local emergency services or contact trusted people who can help you get safe. Do not rely on an online answer for urgent risk.
