₊ ⋆ I just hate it when my mother is tearing down my self-esteem, inch by inch, until I am nothing but a crying mess that cannot form a full sentence without breaking down or stuttering the end of what’s left of my self-worth.
I hate it when my mother finds the tiniest, most unimportant thing, and tells me how bad I am at it. I cannot read the time on a non-digital watch. And yes, I am embarrassed about it myself, yet she always has to point it out during an argument.
Just like a snake, she first lets me believe that she won’t attack me, let me gain hope and comfort, but then in a blink of an eye, she has already attacked me without me noticing it at first.
I hate it that she always says that she “knows me best”. If you know me best, why do you keep saying that I am annoyed when I’m not ? If you know me best, why do you keep provoking me with things I am insecure about, when you know very well that I will be triggered by it ? If you know me best, why do you keep pointing out my biggest mistakes and embarrassing insecurities when I am at my weakest mental health state ? I hate how I cannot form a sentence in these situations without my throat going dry, and my eyes tearing up.
