It’s really hard to change bad habits I(22F) have picked up while growing up. Growing up with messed up family dynamics and whatnot. I’m grateful that I have a friend rn helping me change those said bad habits… But I am at a point where I’m struggling to improve on something. Me and my friend have talked about it and we both agree that I shouldn’t have to be micromanaged as I am an adult… If I had just kept on going then my life would’ve probably improved months ago and I’ll be more stable…
How does one recover from self-loathing?
How does one recover from pent up bottled up emotion when they don’t want to come out?
…should I just tell my friend to stop helping me? I don’t want to waste their time since my actions seem like I don’t care… mentally I do, it’s just… I’m just having a really hard time changing this part of me…
Edit: might delete this post afterwards.
