Most of the time i don't even know if its real or a figment of my imagination
I know that it would've called abuse here in india but i want to know that if its not affecting me on personal level, would it be called abuse?
again no one other than those who knows the laws in your location can say whether what happened to you was abuse or not. you see laws on abuse are not made on how a person "feels" that their situation was abuse or not.

feelings dont say whether someone was abused or not.

example I could feel like a neighbor is abusive to me but that doesnt make it so. I can also feel like a neighbor is not abusive to me but that doesnt make it not abuse... why because my location laws are not based on if I ......feel ......like I was abused I was or not.

the way something is defined abusive or not is based on each locations ownl laws and definitions.

my suggestion is if you want to know whether something is called abuse even though you may feel it was or wasnt contact a mental health treatment provider in your location. they will be able to answer your feelings type questions based on what is and isnt abuse in your location.
