expectations family familyproblems giftedchild growth highexpectations

I'm writing this about expectations my extended family has given me growing up spoken and unspoken.

Some of these things made me feel incredibly self-conscious. Some of them make me feel like I'm a total loser disappointment.

However, unlike most of what I've had to say about other people, I want to state that I don't believe their intentions were bad or they meant poorly about these things. I have never mentioned to them how this stuff makes me feel, and I think a lot of it is things that have gotten to my own head over the years, and that I don't blame them at all for my feelings. But I do still have feelings, and I am still valid.

If any of my aunts somehow come across this, I love you. And I think you meant well, and am not trying to shame any of you.All Rights Reserved
