Mmmm I am always defensive and bitter, negative and insecure and it is very hard because this is causing me so many problems with my partner and as much as I want to change it is useless I think I know what caused it my mother died when I was very little I always received abuse from my grandmother discrimination at school my family grew up because of my uncle at work I have not done very well so to speak and I believe that all this is what has made me that person that no one likes as my partner said I don’t know what to do, I feel adrift.

Hello:
It is difficult for me to trust others, and for that reason I find it important to have friends. In my childhood and adolescence I had very negative experiences, *abandonment by my parents *sexual abuse in my childhood and physical abuse *rejection by my parents. Perhaps for these reasons I am always on the defensive, I think I protect myself in this way. Fear and loneliness go very closely together, there comes a time when I feel that no one understands what I feel and that frustrates me, many times I have thought about running or simply silence myself in the face of everything that surrounds me, many times I think that I belong to another world . How can I deal with fear, loneliness and pain from the past? Despite everything, I always try to stay positive, but it is a daily struggle and there comes a time where I can no longer give any more and everything irritates me.

I am very sorry for what happened to you and definitely a lot of what happens to us has to do with the childhood we had. I am almost in the same situation as you, believe me, I do understand you.

I am on the defensive all the time, because I feel that this is how I protect myself, but in reality I suffer a lot, my husband and another family member criticize me a lot and all the time they blame me only for my mistakes, and I think that there must be some virtue see in me!! but I never hear people tell me anything good about just my failures, it’s like I don’t exist for others and I feel completely alone😔and sad

Good morning, the same thing happens to me, maybe we ask a lot but I feel that that is why we act like this, from my point of view it is the constant complaints and that everything according to the other person goes wrong for us.

Greeting….. A person who tells me that I always have to answer something……. It’s like if he wants to trample me and not defend me or comment on something about the topic or comment

I think it is the pure truth, when one is saturated with work, when one is in a bad mood, when one is investigated and fears being thoroughly investigated, when one has problems, but also when one has not slept enough or when one has not eaten one, we are horrible.
