When we are children we idolise our parents,we watch
everything they do or say and we copy it; so much so,
we want to BECOME just like them. You have done
this perfectly,now you need to undo it.
Is there someone
you can WRITE to,to practice expressing your feelings?
Don't look to have a once and for all cure,start with little things and work your way up. Even write to little
you,telling her where she learned it from,and that it is
inappropriate now; that neither your parents or someone
else will punish her for being who she REALLY is.
Also,look for books on assertiveness,there you will learn you have a RIGHT to speak up!
Courage To You,
BLUEDOVE
P.S. Please do NOT call dear self U.D.
