Knowing you are sensitive because your father was hard on you when you made a mistake can help you now.

Just remind yourself when you get that anxiety reaction.Remind yourself you are not having to please your father anymore and he isn't there now to come down hard on you or react aggressively to what he thought was a wrong move on your part.

Remind yourself your father was not right about what he did back then and he is not the final word on things anymore.

You can make mistakes, we do not have to be punished for our mistakes or punish ourselves because our parents disapproved of us in the past.

Keep reminding yourself of this and be kind to yourself at those crucial times when you do get it wrong and remind yourself you are not actually at fault or done anything wrong,you are just used to condemnation for mistakes which we all make by virtue of being human.

And everything The Skeezey says is spot on good advice.

I definitely do not agree that being sensitive is a form of domestic violence,that is utter tosh.

Another thing you can overcome being sensitive I was sensitive for years after being bullied for years.

When you heal from the emotional pain of being picked on or criticized you also harden up and the sensitivity goes,so don't despair you will overcome this!

I wish you all the best and to recover from this anxiety and fear.I send you love and hugs to dissolve the fear.Marylinx
