Itās like being obedient and neutral was all that I knew.
It kept me safe comfortable but also drained and unhappy when alone.
Being docile offered me comfort and stability. It was scary to not be liked.
Conditional love. There were consequences to not doing what someone wants you. They wonāt like you or they will give you silent treatment. It was easier to avoid conflict by not doing anything to make people view me in a bad manner. I was scared. I was avoiding myself my opinions what I like and disliked because I was scared if other people wouldnāt like me so I decided not to have one at all.
Overtime I learnt that someones attention/praise/ affection (wether familial or romantic)can be removed like this š«°
I learned to simply be deattached if I was praised or talked down on. To Exist without approval or disapproval.
I could love and hold softness in my heart while also being de attached from external experiences.
It didnāt change anything about me as a person. That lesson that repeated itself a lot had finally offered me comfort and true peace and acceptance of myself as a person.
I lacked the intuitive knowing of when to put my foot down or to acknowledge why I was feeling a certain way when boundaries are crossed or used- I donāt realize why I felt bad inside.
Emotional suppression
Low self respect
Fear of being perceived
Anxiety when interacting with people
Fear of confrontation
Fear of vulnerability
Looking for comfort in food
I feel that finding yourself like making list of things you liked or loved in childhood and things you detest,boundaries you have with yourself and existing with other people help in the journey in self respect and love.
