Why Do People Hurt the Ones They Love?

It hurts when someone hurts you, but it hurts even more if the hurt comes from someone you love and trust. Why does this happen so often? Why do the ones who you love hurt you? We have gathered a few explanations that might just make sense in most of these cases.

They probably have low empathy levels

Some people have low empathy for others. They have difficulty “walking in someone else’s shoes” and cannot see other people’s perspectives. They’re unaware of the hurt they cause other people and don’t know that it’s thoughtless not to follow up. Whether these individuals hurt you knowingly or purely by accident doesn’t matter; they will continue hurting you nevertheless.

They might have low self-esteem

People who intentionally hurt the ones they love often suffer from low self-esteem. Because of their low confidence and the low value that they set on themselves, they also tend to be unaware of how hurtful their actions can be toward others. If you suspect that your loved one doesn’t place a high value on themselves, you can at least demonstrate to them how important they are to you. Don’t assume that they know that.

They might be sociopaths or psychopaths in disguise

As frightening as it might sound, it’s many times true. Psychopaths and sociopaths aren’t as easy to identify as you might think, and even psychologists might need years to diagnose one such person correctly. These types of people target their victims based on how easy they are to manipulate and hurt. If you think this might be the case, talk to a therapist and see what advice they have to give you. Act before it’s too late and before you find yourself in a situation typical of patients with Stockholm syndrome.
