There are varying degrees of abuse, though, and emotional abuse is something hard to pin down, especially when we only see glimpses of Loki's life. With the material we are handed, yes, it is hard to say he was emotionally abused. But we wouldn't be very good at analyzing if we didn't read between the lines and make assumptions based on the evidence we're given, would we? I think he could have been emotionally abused. I think there's enough evidence to say that it's possible. We're kind of seeing the movie from Thor's point of view, only really catching Loki's perspective when he confronts Odin, so it makes sense that, since Thor doesn't realize that he's been unintentionally hurting Loki, that it wouldn't be obvious to people watching the movie. I think this is basically up to interpretation, and I wouldn't say you could deny one argument or the other.

I've also been emotionally abused by my family, but didn't see what other people saw as 'emotional abuse' when I watched the movie. It wasn't until reading statements from others and rewatching the movie that I could see where people were coming from. So I really don't think I'm projecting. Which is a stupid thing to say anyway, because I'm sure a lot of people that sympathize with Loki aren't emotionally abused either.

Oh, yes, I agree he could have been emotionally abused. There's the possibility of it, based on how dangerously low his own regard for himself was and the question of how he got to that point. It's a valid interpretation, I just don't feel it's the most valid interpretation, the most believable reason for his behavior. That's just a difference of opinion, so yeah, I can't say it's implausible.
