Can parents build up insecurities in their children ?

I feel like if my mom stopped criticizing my social skills. I would be so quiet in fear of saying something bad.
If she stopped saying that I don't take care of my hair, and my clothes and face. I could walk without having the need to hide.
If she stopped making a fool of me in front of people. I wouldn't be so scared of talking to them.

I just want her to stop pointing out all the wrong in me. Because it really makes me want to hide beneath the ground...And maybe see what's good...Once or twice...

My parents did and still do. I love 'em to death but no matter how hard I try, how well I do it's not good enough. What hurts me most is when they compare me to other people.

Makes you feel like a disappointment.
