Would you say that you've sorted your mind out and resolved some/most/all of your childhood traumas and psychosocial and psychosexual issues?

What were your main challenges would you say?

[WillowofFeathers]

I’ve sorted out a lot of them but I definitely still have a lot to work with. I was such a people pleaser and I thought that if I spoke up my mind no one would like me if I said something others disagreed with. I do have an idea where this thought comes from. But it has gotten better but I do sometimes still struggle with it.
I’m not sure if that was what you meant by your question but that was what came to my mind when I read it

[TalkWithoutSpeaking]

That's exactly what I meant. And I think your opinion shows how reflected you are. The fact that you overcame your people pleasing is to show that you are so strong.

Shows* that you are strong

[WillowofFeathers]

I thought the question was very good and reflected too and I thinks that’s why it is a difficult question to answer because it is necessary to admit a part of you that you probably don’t like. But with that being said I do occasionally fall back into my old habits and agrees with the majority despite the fact that I don’t think that they’re right. Because I don’t like the thought of a potential conflict

[TalkWithoutSpeaking]

I think it's only human to fall back into old habits sometimes. Thank you, I ask it because I think the discussion about acceptance of oneself as a whole where both attractive and less attractive sides are included is important.
After all, I think many people seek to become their own best friends.

[WillowofFeathers]

I think you’re right. And I think life will be easier too if you’re okay with yourself and who you are!

[TalkWithoutSpeaking]

Exactly. I'm glad you see my point! 😊

Nah, but I'm probably 4x better than 5 years ago.

Going no contact with my abusive mother and her enabling husband has helped me quite a lot. Going to therapy, coming out, and getting a diagnosis and meds for ADHD have made things even better.

I have a lot I still need to overcome. But it's all moving in the right direction!
