Childhood neglect

SW-User
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 🤷‍♀️
SW-User
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.

People that make judgements on you like that are insecure about themselves

rejection
Being avoided

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

Fear of failure though I’m successful and accomplished — go figure
