What is browbeating?

Browbeating refers to the act of intimidating someone into doing or not doing something through harsh, persistent, or bullying behavior. It often involves verbal abuse, threats, and coercion. Browbeating can be used to control and manipulate the behavior of others, and can have long-lasting negative effects on the victim, such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. It is considered a form of emotional abuse and is not an effective or acceptable way to communicate with others.
