This is a very interesting topic. Perhaps, the more ways where this can be described, there might be a reduction of it. The condition being described seems two- fold. When someone humiliates another, it can be referred to as "degradation," or "intimidation," or "tormenting" another. If one derives a certain enjoyment in actively demonstrating this type of behavior, the term "sadist" might be applied, but be warned of its sexual connotation. These terms would be describing when the aggressor engages in such behavior against a particular topic. In terms of examining it from the receiving end, one can be "targeted," or "victimized," or "ensnared in a web of cruelty." This might be relating to your concept of "low self esteem." When one experiences this state, they can be said to "emotionally withered," or "lacking self- worth," or, if it has progressed to a point where they are without hope, the term "silenced" may apply.
