Hey. Surprise, I'm still alive.
So I worked through how I was feeling. I believe myself to be incompetent, so I put on others the responsibility of taking care of me. Which stresses people out. They are not supposed to take care of me. So I have to understand that I'm a competent individual that doesn't need to be coddled. I have to know that I am enough for the world around me. I can't discredit my experiences and knowledge.
The trouble is the understanding of this. I tend to only do things that will help me feel better about myself. I don't step outside my comfort zone.
So that's the trouble. I don't step outside my comfort zone because I want to be protected all the time. Bluh.
