...relationship? My old man raised me this way. Its the formula i use to relate to people. If i feel someone physically or socially has more "power" than me, i cringe and hide away my personality, but if i feel more powerful i become aggressive and controlling of the other people around me. i cant relate socially.

I dont want to be like this, i just want to be myself.

Also my mind tells me that i have to meet every perfect expectation of what someone would want to meet. It changes for everyone i meet too, as everyone is different. i cant just be myself. i also beat myself up if im not the standard and the cycle continues.


This is just the tip of the iceberg of my depression and anxiety issues but this is a base problem that really needs to be confronted, it overlaps many other problems i have.

Thanks for any help.
