Negging is when a person tries to manipulate you into feeling bad about yourself. Negging happens in a few different ways: They give backhanded compliments: “Well, don’t you look fabulous? I would never be brave enough to wear my hair like that with your face shape.” They compare you to other people: “Your sister is in such great shape. You should take a cue from her and start working out.” They’re always “just joking” when you call them on it: “Lighten up! Where's your sense of humor?" They insult you under the guise of “constructive criticism”: “That report was terrible, but the subject is completely over your head after all.” They disguise insults as questions: “Don't take this the wrong way, but are you really going to eat all that by yourself ?” They make you feel sorry for voicing concerns by minimizing their mistreatment
