Have you ever experienced where people around you discouraged you doing things you love?

Damn soul sappers, they lived in fear all their lives, and now they want to pass their fear on to another. I suppose they seek sympathy in doing so, but sympathy only goes so far. They should have faced their fears, but chose not to because some silly notion of what if?

Yes, quite a few times when I was growing up. I now have severe anxiety and so much self-doubt. I pretty much question every single decision I make. Also missed so many opportunities because of it, as I was so afraid of failing or not being good enough.

I'm wrong no matter what. and they don't mind lying or making sense in order to tell me I'm wrong. Trouble is they do this to everyone around me and convince them I'm wrong or full of it. By the time other people work it. (some never do) it doesn't matter, they'll just distance themselves from my family. Thanks to this I don't have friends, at least none for long once they meet my family.

Happens everywhere including this place.

Either be concerned for your peace of mind or break fingers in endless blame games.

They wanted to limit me to things they could take advantage of, very sad to do that to children

Yes but in their defence i was complaining a lot so they were trying help me

Yep!

My whole life
