[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s funny, because I think all the time about how my family of origin has kind of effed me up for the workplace, because I’m overly sensitive to criticism. I finally went to therapy but mainly because of my workplace drama. The rest of my life was actually going fine. It has helped immensely. [/quote] Yeah, this is me. I think it can depend on circumstances beyond the abuse. I was the third of four kids, so rarely tapped to be the peacemaker or designated adult by our parents (that fell to my older siblings). Instead I have crippling low self-esteem, a tendency to over invest in people who offer me attention or praise (making me susceptible to repeating abusive relationships), and eager to please. I wish I had gotten those skills for defusing abusive people— would have helped then and now.[/quote]
