Abuse isolates its perpetrator. Even if they appear charming in certain circles, deep down, people rarely support, admire, or agree with abusive behavior. Communities, friends, and families may quietly warn each other, share their experiences, or protect potential victims — all without confronting the abuser directly.
Abusers often think they are unnoticed or untouchable, but the reality is that word spreads. Reputation travels fast in small, connected circles. While they may be unaware, their behavior is known, discussed, and resisted.
The truth is simple: abuse is never accepted. It is rarely admired. And while the abuser may imagine otherwise, isolation and accountability follow naturally when communities act — quietly, consistently, and effectively.
No one likes an abuser. No one truly agrees with them. And that truth often creates the space for survivors to escape and reclaim their lives.
