Is this related to the fact of not thinking about what one wants in any situation or in life generally, and a feeling that being on this earth does not have a huge amount of meaning, that one doesnt have a rightful place to be on this earth, not as much right as others, not as much right as others to be who they are? And so who one is has been repressed, and is not expressed? I think therapy can help this if it is a space where one can gradually start expressing oneself and start feeling that one has the right to be oneself. Maybe boundaries in life will start to come naturally if that process happens in therapy? I think that process started to happen in my therapy.
(That sounded a bit odd with all those ones, I tried writing it with "you" or "i" but neither felt right.)
