| Type of Abuse | Common Signs | Why It Matters | |---------------|--------------|----------------| | | Punches, slaps, kicks, forced touching, or any injury to the face | May require medical attention and legal reporting. | | Verbal/Emotional | Name‑calling (“ugly,” “disgusting”), threats about appearance, constant criticism, gaslighting about how you look | Can erode self‑esteem and lead to anxiety or depression. | | Digital/Online | Harassing messages, posting edited photos to mock or shame, doxxing facial images | Can spread quickly and feel inescapable. | | Sexual | Unwanted touching of the face, forced kissing, or any sexual act involving the face without consent | Requires immediate safety planning and professional support. | | Psychological/Coercive Control | Isolating you from friends who compliment your appearance, demanding you hide or cover your face, using your looks to manipulate | Often part of a larger pattern of control. |
