What are the aspects that make an individual abusing others? I want to know about the psychological state of a pervert.

The term "pervert" has a lot of meanings. From the tone of
your question, I assume you are referring to those who molest others sexually, such as
child molesters. There are many theories about why this sort of behavior occurs. Some
believe it is due to hormonal imbalances or possibly genetics. Others argue that is an
inappropriate way to fill a basic need, such as closeness or dominance over another.
Possibly it happens because the person had a childhood experience that he or she
misunderstood and internalized incorrectly, such as walking in on one's parents engaged
in a sexual activity and assuming they are fighting.


The
theory that you suggest, that those who are abused will become abusers, is a very
popular one among the general public; while it is true that some victims becomes abusers
in turn, it is does not always happen. Many victims grow up to lead normal lives, while
many abusers have no background of having been abused.
