ABASE, ABASH, ABUSE

ABASE
if you accept that someone has power on you, and you lower your self-esteem or prestige, you abase yourself.

If somebody shows u attitude or insults you then he abases you



ABASH
this is a more critical situation where the other person leaves you bereft of your self-esteem and self-respect,
It carries a high degree of embarrassment with it

Imagine a dramatic scene when you have so much insulted that you can't even raise your head or meet the person again


ABUSE
Abusing could be a way to abase or abash
someone by using foul language

Here is an example:
Frank has no control over his tongue; yesterday he openly abased a new trainee who didn't know how to use an instrument in the Quality Testing Department. Two days before that he brutually abashed his old secretary who handed him the wrong documents for reference. But, he is still better off than Norman who starts abusing people straight away, Gosh his foul language is really something for the nerves
