While others have the freedom to slowly adapt to adulthood with their parents support, you felt the opposite.
If you could relate to this, welcome to the club of self-parented misfits.
It is easier to handle problems on your own than venture to add anyone else into the mix.
God & Man
Now as an adult, you have a tendency to bottle up your issues and keep them hidden.
Those lessons made you realize that there is security in skepticism.
This can sometimes come across as commitment avoidant in relationships.
Sharing that space with someone else can feel a bit suffocating, especially at the start.
You might start feeling anxious or short tempered when there is no sense of order in a home.
You might be very hard on yourself and show little compassion for your own shortcomings.
While some are taking their time to grow up, you feel like you are several steps ahead already.
Youve been on your own for much longer, even at a young age.
People who are a bit older and already established are the people who you like to spend time with.
You are really sensitive to rejection
Rejection.
As an adult, we can take even the smallest of rejections very personally.
Despite our fierce independence, deep down we want to feel loved and accepted just like anyone else.
Give yourself some credit for where you are at now.
