What I should do?!
Question:
What I should do?
whenI was a child, until to day I am 27 years old, I was not able to have boundaries to protect myself, I mean I was a victim of emtional, mental,verbal, physical abuse etc.. I have a problem to put boundaries, if I do I might come across to people that I am rude, or as if I tell people it's not of your business while I have been told they want the best for me. i can' win my family or relatives affection and emotional support.
my self-esteem is wonded.
I am afraid of both counsellor reaction if I told her/him my problem.
what shell I do?
my wounded self-esteem has stopped me from putting strong boundaries to protect myself from nosy people, and relatives abuse overseas and in australia.
Answers:
You should definately let your boundries down, but be careful about who you let in. A concellor would be good because they are stricken by law for confidentiality. You need to tell someone about what is going on and let someone in. It will be okay if you let someone in.
