Emotional Strangulation

(noun)

The intense feeling of being overwhelmed, suffocated, or mentally “choked out” by someone else’s emotions, actions, or demands — to the point where you can’t think straight or breathe emotionally. It’s when another person’s pressure, manipulation, or emotional dumping wraps around your mind like a vice and leaves you frozen, drained, or powerless.

Used when:

Someone pushes their feelings, guilt, expectations, or drama onto you so hard that you feel mentally constricted — like your emotional airway just got cut off.
Examples:

“Bro, every time she starts guilt-tripping me, I get serious emotional strangulation.”

“It’s not the argument — it’s how he twists everything until I can’t even breathe emotionally, its like he is emotionally strangling me!”

“Parents who dump their stress onto their kids don’t realise the emotional strangulation they cause.”
