I think it is stemming from shame. Shame of myself for getting overwhelmed to easily, not being able to handle many things at once, not emotionally resilient. I am ashamed that I am not able to open up my own business because I can not handle that kind of stress and deal with that amount of work and uncertainty. It was just a pipe dream and I told everyone I was going to do it. Now I have to let go of that dream knowing it died because I give up to easy in the face of hard work and stress.
I have to learn how to accept my limitations.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
