Identify destructive communication habits and foster healthier interactions.
Do your arguments sometimes escalate beyond words, leaving you or your partner feeling hurt, frustrated, or disconnected?
Violent communication can silently damage trust, deepen resentment, and create emotional wounds that linger long after the conflict ends.
This quiz offers a reflective space to explore patterns of destructive communication, including verbal abuse (yelling, insults, threats), non-verbal aggression (stonewalling, eye-rolling, intimidation), and emotional manipulation (guilt-tripping, gaslighting, withholding affection).
By thoughtfully answering each question, you’ll gain insights into how these behaviors may manifest in your interactions.
Whether your goal is to improve your communication, repair relationships, or prevent further harm, this quiz guides you toward self-awareness, understanding, and practical strategies for fostering a respectful and emotionally safe environment.
Take this step to transform the way you communicate and strengthen your relationships.
