This inner powerlessness. The first time I became aware of this feeling was in my teens, I became very depressed and constantly felt powerless.
And I'm in my thirties, and still.
It doesn't work to just "get over it".
And I wish I knew how did this happen? Otherwise I just blame myself, that I'm inherently fearful and powerless. Like I just give my potenials away because of, I don't know, stupidity and laziness.
Reason like this is why, I am not comfortable with communicating with certain people in my life. But I am more comfortable sharing my life thoughts with people who wants to listen or when they are actively encouraging me to be better everyday at life.

I feel oppressed, in subconscious way.
When I got to buy clothings, I find clothes that are comfortable for me but lose appeal for it. When I go shopping with other friends/sibling, I ask for their opinion and I feel they come across as "controlling" sometimes.
Most importantly, I feel i'm under control by my parents who somehow "determine" how my future will be like, judging from their authoritative tone.
