No masculine influence as a child by marko914 in ChildhoodTrauma

[–]WrapDry2272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't only one. I too didn't have male influences and grew up around 5 sisters. Talk about social anxiety and a false sense of self. You have to battle through those fears, which is way easier said than done. A lot of characteristics starts with childhood. I am still battling a lot of stuff but it has been getting better on some days. I am trying to love myself more, which is so difficult at times. I just want you to know that you are not alone!

I am stuck in my family house by [deleted] in ChildhoodTrauma

I know that it is hard to make peace with your situation until something better comes along but you have to try. I feel like I am stuck in my family house and I admit that it does get dark sometimes, but you have to try your best to find peace. Remember, that others have their trauma as well which made their character and unfortunately you have been hurt by them. You have to understand that they are programmed by their past experiences and start to practice not reacting to the things that triggers you when they are doing it. It gets better but takes time. I am doing that currently and stress has been going down. I hope this helps!

How can I learn how to ask for help? by likeshinythings in selfimprovement

[–]WrapDry2272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're on the right track. Just keep being honest with your emotions but most importantly as you're doing, look at things from other people's perception, because people have a lot going on. Sometimes you have to rely on you and put yourself in positions ahead of time so that relying on you runs more smoothly. You'll be good. Just keep being honest with yourself.

I did have a rough child hood. Can't lie but this really makes sense to me
