Hello. : Hello. I can't diagnose if you had temporary insantiy. However, being taunted, intimidated or ridiculed could certainly push someone's emotional buttons. It could lead to feeling hurt, scared, angry... With that said, behavior is not the same as emotion. Behavior may be how someone reacts to emotion. It would be unusual for someone not to have some degree of control over their behavior. With strong stressors, a person may have a strong reaction.

Abusive situation: No one should have to tolerate this. If these are your parents, move out -- secure your independence by any means. If this is your partner, move on. If this is your workplace or school, get an attorney.
