We've had threads on spotting warning signs that a person may be abusive. What are some that most people may not think of, or recognize as a red flag?
I read somewhere that many abusers tend to be fast walkers.
I've had experience with that. The problem is not *just* that they walk fast. It's that they expect you to run to keep up, and they *will not* slow down for you, even if you're out of breath and your legs are starting to burn and twitch. They'll leave you in the dust if the light at the crosswalk turns green and you're still half a block behind. Call out to them to wait for you, and they'll only yell at you for being so slow. If you have trouble stepping down off a steep curb, or even if you trip and fall somewhere, they may stop to help you, but they're going to say something critical while they're doing it.
That lack of concern for you is where the red flag is.
