• Difficulty imposing itself
• Difficulty to respect one's limits and end always or most often yielding to the will of the other
• Submission.

People with this submission profile tend to have relationship difficulties. But it does not mean that they will have toxic relationships. It is also necessary to choose someone who has a strong or even negative personality to provoke bad feelings to the other. This is precisely because of the difficulty of valuing it.

But there are those people who have relationships like that. The profile of people who insist on a relationship in which they are not valued and often suffer physical and moral abuse is:

• Submission
• Devaluation of self
• Focus on the status of a relationship at all costs for fear abandonment, pain of separation
• Fear of being alone.

Now, there's the other side. The profile of the abuser is:

• Mastery of situation and relationship
• Often, it is only reproducing what you experienced in traumatic childhood.

One way to deal with this aggressive and manipulative person is to move away. But this is not the only way. There are other ways of dealing with the situation.

• Learning to impose
• Know what you want
• Give value to yourself
• Respect yourself and your neighbor
• Enjoy yourself and of those who like you.

• Has low self-esteem. It is certain that anyone can enter into a relationship like this, but those who have a better emotional balance will leave faster
• He / she lives a very internal conflict, because relationships are never always bad, the aggressor usually feels guilty and compensates his victim with attention and affection redoubled in other moments, which leads to a conflict and doubt if the relation is good or really bad.
