My primary parental person and also a "friend" from high school brainwashed me into believing that everything bad that happened to me was my fault.

It damaged me so much.

I was also neglected by my physically ill mother growing up.

I grew up with no real feeling of confidence or self-acceptance. I believed that I was intrinsically bad and that everything that goes wrong was about me.

when one member left a group recently, I thought it was my fault.

When my doctor did not call me today, I automatically thought it was about me. (fighting that).

i am working to recover from that now.
