Here's the thing, my mom and I aren't as close as she is with my siblings We constantly argue She always says snide remarks about everything I do,say, or wear. And it's very frustrating I try so hard to get her approval To feel accomplished and loved but she always finds something wrong about me I honestly believe that she loves my siblings more because in her eyes they can never do wrong Even if they do something wrong I'm the one who gets yelled because I "should have stopped them" Theres so much responsibility I carry but she never acknowledges it I try soooo hard but it's like nothing I do is ever enough for her and I feel like a failure She always judges me hence leading to my self deprecation,low self esteem and social anxiety And tbh I dont know what to do anymore Any advice here, I could really use some P.s I'm a girl
Aug 11, 2020I know it's your mom and you should respect her and all but this effects you in a more fumdamental way than people think, it shapes your future and hinders your potential in a lot of ways. The constant disapproval, critisizm and nagging will make your subconscious mind believe that you will never be enough for yourself. You are very introspective and you have already noticed what it does. If you try to defend yourself you mom will most probably just see it as a disrespect and hit even harder
