Is this reaction normal?

Question

Sorry if the word sensitive comes off bad. I don’t mean it in a bad way. I consider myself as fragile and easily hurt by someone’s words
So Everytime my bf and I argue, my body shakes and my mouth quivers. Feels like I’m getting a panic attack. 
My bf sucks at communicating. He screams heavily and I think I’m traumatized. My body goes through a shock state and I shake. 
He has a history of verbally degrading me and calling me names. I’ve given him the chance to better himself because I think he has issues that stem from his parents relationship. 
Sometimes I’m even scared to bring up something because of how his reaction can be.

Answer

He’s verbally and emotionally abusive. You react like that because you are scared of him. Please leave him

Answer

You need to leave. 
This will not get any better and can progress and escalate. I wish I had left my ex husband sooner than what ended up occurring. It starts with yelling and fear then
Progresses to violence, worse violence and in my case attempted murder.

Answer

You just said in more than one way that you’re scared of him. With that being said, it’s time to leave. He can’t control his anger and communicate normally, it’s a matter of when he will get physical at this point. There are a lot of adults who have had trauma that stems from their parents, who are not abusive so don’t make that excuse for him at your expense.

Answer

Uh, this isn’t normal. It’s abuse and you need to leave.

Answer

You're in an abusive relationship. Full stop.

Answer

Verbal and emotional abuse is awful and for me was worse than physical abuse. I would highly advise you to get out of this relationship. The abuse can affect you years and years later. It is not worth it.

Answer

I don’t know how to answer this poll. The answer is yes. You are not too sensitive. Nobody should have to deal with someone screaming at them

Answer

That’s not healthy and it’s not OK. Your reaction is normal because your brain is perceiving a threat when he screams and yells and calls you names. You’re being abused and your body is reacting normally to an abnormal situation. You need to get out of that relationship. Why stay with someone who treats you that way?
