Saying the wrong thing. (---) 

I always get anxiety when I say the wrong thing and it is hard for me to think otherwise. I always worry that I lose friends over a few words. This definitely stems from being raised by abusive parents who if I made a single mistake I would be scolded, yelled at, and/or grounded which usually was preceeded with silence to make me live in fear of them. Gosh I am so broken right now.

@XerTheSquirrel I'm sorry Xer, that's rough :x

It's really hard to shake that when we're older too.

I hope the day gets better for you. 🦊

@Saxxon *hugs* I just hate how I was conditioned to have my gratification and happiness defined and controlled by another person. I hope my day improves as well, it is just difficult right now.
