My dad always puts me down. He never compliments me. I do everything he wants but I am never good enough. I’m always compared to others. He pushes me to do things I don’t want because he wants to be able to brag and be able to compete with other people when they talk about their kids accomplishments. Even when I was a kid I needed to do this or that because I wasn’t good enough. How am I supposed to function as an adult when I never was able to build self esteem or confidence and I was never allowed to be myself. I only know how to disappoint and fail others. I can’t even stick up for myself because my boundaries aren’t respected and I am never heard. My feelings and thoughts don’t matter. I am not allowed to be myself and do what I enjoy without criticism. I want to leave my house but I can’t.
