Answer:
The use of "put down" IS a form of mental abuse
and it most definitely IS a form of control that people use against others !! The "chipping away" at an individual's confidence and sense of well-being is not only damaging to that individual -- it can -- definitely leave perminent scars and lingering doubts about one's self for a life time !!
Most usually, people who DO this --- are very paranoid and self-unassured individuals who use this to "limit" others where they continue to cling to the very person who is jamming on them for fear that they are not capable of doing any "better" in any way without them !
Get away from this dork !!
Let him coral some other person for his personal "game" !
yes, to a point. Perception is everything. Example, If you smoke one cigarette a month outside of your work and at that point the president of the co walks in the building everytime.

It is wise to separate oneself from those who are negative towards us and injurious to our self-esteem...even if they are family or friends.
The people who hurt us the most, on an emotional level, are those who are close to us and who we look to for support.
If a complete stranger on the street called you a jerk you would brush it off. If the girl or guy you love called you a jerk it would sting.
Yes, negativity can eventually rub off on you. Get away from that person. Get professional help. You don't have to stay in your situation.
whether you are religious or not the bible says it best, "bad associations spoil useful habits." Another.. walk with the wise and become wise walk with a fool and become as they are.
Can a persons negative projections of one change a persons idea of self? Sure
Remember, you become molded by that in which you surround yourself with. We are all models of our environment and that in which we are in constant contact with on everyday basis. Models meaning attaching characteristics to ourself that we become accustomed to.
