Just maybe there is something more to a bad behavior
I had a meltdown last week and my parents were shouting at me to stop behaving in that way while I was screaming, crying and hyperventilating. I was just overwhelmed with emotions and couldn’t stop.
You are already 30 you shouldn’t be behaving this way.
Flashback to when I was in secondary school, my parents would tell me to stop acting up and behaving in the way I was behaving.
But I never listen much less followed. Not because I was naughty but rather I didn’t understand what they meant by that. How do I stop this behavior how do I stop what I’m doing. They just yell but never showed.
So growing up I got very confuse of my own emotions yet as someone who is very emotional my nature it was a struggle.
I started self harming in secondary school. I was suicidal and had thoughts of just ending my life didn’t help that bio was my fav subject so I knew how to hurt myself.
Yet during those bleak time in my life I had people around me who support me and gave me a safe space.
I now learn that because I was not taught the right way to cope with my emotions I ended up acting out to deal with them
If those people hadn’t shown me empathy and give me a safe space to rant I wouldn’t be where I am today.
