Have you ever had ppl constantly telling you to grow up to the point all you do is try to stay in control. Or being put down the moment you try to be yourself. So all you do is close out everyone and be so internalized that you don’t know what to do

Or how about years of trying to be what everyone wants you to be and then having meltdowns over things that should be fun and normal but the voice in your head keeps telling you no, that it’s not what they would say yes to

Constantly having to panic when shopping for clothes or any necessities because you’re always thinking of what they would say is best. Having to play it safe because of not wanting hear anyone.

Then everything you wish with all your heart you were and can do can only be realized in your dreams. So you sleep endlessly and get stuck in daydreaming
Because that’s the only safe place for you
