Tired of being judged

Hi everyone 🤍

I’m not sure how to say this, but I’ll try to keep it real.

I actually like talking to people deep conversations, meaningful moments, just feeling understood. But the people around me always seem to judge or ask things that feel too personal.

They make me feel like I have to explain myself all the time. Or worse, like something’s wrong with me for wanting a little privacy.

So I end up staying quiet, not because I don’t want to talk but because I don’t feel safe doing it with them.

Does anyone else feel this way?

@iixic EVERY DAMN DAY! Almost like I have no right to want privacy or the want for people to give me space because I get anxiety and overwhelmed and in the past when I have tried to be honest and speak up about my personal issues and mistakes, it's given others the right to judge me. Making people feel like they have a right to tell me I don't know what I want or need because if I did, I wouldn't be in the situation i am in. Almost as if punishing you for doing what they all said would help and support you, if you just spoke up and were honest....lol I feel like it's a cruel joke.

@iixic Silence sometimes it’s self-protection. It’s okay to stay quiet until you're around people who earn your trust. You are not alone in this
