@nick_werber: When judgment is the background noise of childhood, it can shape how you experience closeness, even as an adult. This one is pretty specific, do you relate? #familydynamics #highlysensitiveperson #innerchildhealing #cyclebreakers #attachmentwounds #scapegoatchild #traumaawareness #HealingJourney
yes and now I'm a chronic people pleaser with social anxiety

This is how I grew up. My mom would be sweet to someone’s face and sneer at them the second they turned around. It was very confusing

My mother judged everyone, the mailman, the cooking show host, the cashier at the grocery, the lady at the drive thru. This makes SO much sense.

I am so judgy now because of this too and then I project it back onto myself and set these weird standards because im worried someone else is also judging me.

I actually think this causes cognitive dissonance in the younger generation, a mother may talk negatively about another relative that’s doing well in life (usually jealousy) so the child is despondent thinking what’s the point of getting ahead in life? Everyone will hate me if I do well.

I'll raise you - I literally thought "wow mom & dad are so great for listing out all the ways people can be wrong, now I know how to be perfect. I feel bad for kids who don't have honest parents like mine" hahahaha

This is 100% me. And yes, being judged feels like “the price of admission” to relationships, so I tend to keep them superficial and light. I’m also not great at handling real or perceived criticism. All of this contributes to my overall loneliness.

Absolutely, my mom, grandmother, and aunts live close together and talk about all the other family members. I will never open up or trust them because they will talk about my business too and make it everyone’s business.

Funny how growing up under constant judgment wires your brain to assume everyone’s holding a gavel, even when you’d never pick one up yourself. It’s like your nervous system still thinks it's being graded, even though you dropped the class years ago.

I remember joking about it when I was younger. She’d get off the phone with one aunt, then immediately call another aunt and start complaining. I realize now it happens with everyone she knows- even me.

But isn’t that ultimately just proof that it’s true? If my parents can be that judgmental, does it not illustrate just how judgmental humans can be? Technically isn’t the fear justified? I’m genuinely asking.

Yeah, I thought it was totally normal to be judged by anyone who perceives me. So I tried to turn invisible.

This is something I was very purposeful in not repeating as a parent because of how much it affected me to have parents like this!

I feel like as a late dx AuDHDer, pretty sure my fear of being perceived and judged is bc I WAS constantly judged and misinterpreted constantly. They assumed ill will most of the time. The world judged me and said I wasn't enough or lovable.😅
