Childhood neglect

From my mother, as apparently everything I did was wrong, I mean "everything"

@SW-User Are you sure we're not the same person?

@SW-User I lived that, exactly. Straight A’s, honors courses, my mother threw the report card in the trash can under the sink in the kitchen. Apparently there was nothing to complain about 😂

From a mother who mistook intelligence for precociousness. She couldn't handle my confidence as a young girl and sapped every little bit out of me, especially in front of other people.
Even now, I can't understand why people would like, let alone love me.

Abandonment 🤷♀️

From my past.
From not knowing what to expect from people.

Right now mine mainly stem from having to interact with my ex and money issues.
As I’ve gotten older I don’t really care as much about what people think of me, but I do have insecurities about abandonment/rejection from those I let close.

My anxiety comes from pretty much the same, with emphasis on accommodating my parents' demands. I was afraid I would get killed, literally, if I were ever out of compliance. My parents were terrifying, violent people. I thought they were going to kill me in my sleep, which, I'm sure, has something to do with my ongoing insomnia.

@PhoenixPhail How could you survive that?!
I never felt any sense of security with my own family -- not sure what would happen next, because love was pretty much conditional.

@SW-User With a lot of survival strategies. I had to become an actor.
Love was VERY much conditional in my family. There was no security, only making sure I did everything I was told and did it perfectly. Otherwise, there was hell to pay.
I'm sorry you grew up in a family where there was no security.

I’d say growing up in a home where my parents were always arguing and I trained myself never to offend them or set them off but I was always on edge.

I was a very timid, sensitive child being raised in a crass thoughtless family.

Expectations I think others have of me. Childhood abuse never dealt with.
