What is/was the hardest part of growing up for you?

Question

Aiko_E_Lara · Accepted Answer

Specially with the fact that I am raised by overly protective grandparents or don't let me do anything and gaslight me for protesting about my rights to grow up, it's the fear of not getting support if you choose to live your life. The fear of not being able to go back anymore. They don't really give me any moral support of what i do but instead giving me any discouragements. Giving me a lot of reasons I will fail but if I choose to ignore what they say, they'd straight up use reverse psychology on me and I'm getting sick of it.

It's been during global financial crisis, and only those with apprenticeships for poorly paid jobs found something. I mean quite some of them had to go to college afterwards for a better job, which I did anyway. But first it was 2 years of unemployment for me.

M nervousness and insecurity mostly. It really made me struggle socializing. Always overthrowing. Never holding eye contact for long. Sweating so much. Doubting myself and everything.
Never really daring to do anything by myself or do activities I wanted to.

Just so many struggles because of it. It really held me back.

I've improved a lot over the years, though I still struggle a bit.
