[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer the title of your post - you're exhausting. Because you/they talk about whatever dysfunction it was, all- the-time

Give it a rest. We heard you. You've told us before. Many, many times. We want to like you, we want to welcome you, but please join the rest of us in a healthy relationship.[/quote]

Not everyone from a dysfunctional family talks about it all the time or at all.

I carried a lot of shame about my family's problems for a long time and rarely if even mentioned them to other people.

Going to therapy and working through that shame meant learning to disclose it sometimes, and to be honest about my feelings and sometimes the reason for those feelings. But even if this is a very occasional thing, people can be impatient because people are mostly self-interested.

The truth is that if you have psychological damage from growing up in a dysfunctional family, you may need some forbearance or patience at times. Not all the time, and everyone is responsible for their own feelings and choices. But sometimes.

Some people aren't capable of offering that and will get angry and you for asking, even once.[/quote]
