Wow. This is exactly how I was raised. When I got A at school, it was normal with no praise, but when I got B I was beaten, literally. This was my life until high school. Until this day my father expects me to be someone great, and because I am not what he expects, he keeps criticizing me and puts me down.

I think people are born with a sprint of adventurer and warrior, but this spirit is sometimes crushed, unfortunately, by the closest people like your parents. Until now, when I'm in the presence of my parents, I don't talk because I know my father will criticize me afterwards. The problem is that when I don't talk he would criticized me, too.

I developed low self-esteem and social anxiety and the fear of doing and saying anything, and it's become part of my unconscious mind. But listening to those videos, the speaker makes it sounds easy. Just decide, and it will happen!!
