What do you do when you realize that the coping skills you developed early on, to protect yourself, to survive, are not so helpful anymore?
That protective shell of suspicion and mistrust, installed around myself to keep the bad things out, well it also keeps some of the good things out.
The self-reliance, the I don't need anyone or anything mentality, the tendency to say yes when I mean no and just do what I want anyway, to hide what I truly think and feel.
All, not so great as an adult and with actual healthy people in my life.
These are things I'm thinking about, and working on.
