Do you ever feel like you are basically not allowed to speak of what's in your mind because it "upsets" people ?

I'm so tired of being constantly judged, everything is my fault every single thing I do is wrong my whole life is a mistake. And when I defend myself guess what, I'm still doing it wrong.

It's been this way since primary school except that instead of school mates it's now my family. Maybe I deserve this because in all honesty I did that to my sister at one point because she was doing the same to our younger sister. Now it's just me and I hate that I always end up forgetting and forgiving for the sake of peace and I end up oversharing and it happens all over again.

I also hate how easily this gets on my nerves and I snap.

Not sure how to fix that exactly, I would definitely leave if I could and obviously I thought of that but that's not an option given how things are healthwise.

I’m really sorry you’re carrying all of this. Being made to feel like you’re wrong just for existing is exhausting, especially when it comes from family. It makes sense that you’d snap sometimes, anyone would in that position. You don’t deserve to feel silenced or like a mistake. I see how hard you’re trying. 🫂

I’m literally having a conversation about this with someone right now. It’s become a constant thing lately. And it’s valid that it’s upsetting because it inherently is. We got the raw end of the deal in pretty much every way and still end up having to be the one to comfort others for our suffering.

Hmmm. I used to.
But then again, it’s frustrating. So I just say what’s on my mind and if there’s a need to.
One thing I did is to filter out unnecessary things to say - but if I have the urge to say something to that person (upsetting or not) I still tell them - like “Sorry if this will offend you… etc”.
Not my problem how people will take it though. As long as it ain’t derogatory or something. Ahahahaha.

I feel that way all the time. I have to constantly watch what i say so that i don't hurt somebody's feelwings.

As a child I guess this is a reality we all know.. But at some point I decided it was better to have others be upset than let them upset me.. Thats worked out fairly well..😷

Give it some time. As you get older, you care less and less about what people think and you will be more comfortable speaking your mind.

there are rules for proper behavior and conversation with family, school, work, almost everywhere. only here will others engage in the taboo topics
