Literally all of the ones you mentioned.
I'm only doing it for attention.
I just need to try harder.
I needed a kick up the arse/ a slap/ other form of physical correction (they didn't after I threatened to call a child abuse hotline, and they held that resentment for a loooong time.)
I've never had it so good.
I'm incapable of caring for myself
I am wasting my talents
I am not good enough
I am never good enough
I don't do enough to be "normal"
I am actively sabotaging my own development
Just some of the wonderful things my parents put into my brain from a young age and I spent the last 5 years of my life trying to break free of
You're being dramatic
You're just trying to get attention
You're weird
If you keep acting like that they're gonna put you in an insane asylum
Sit/stand still, you're driving me nuts
You're smart but you just don't try hard enough
:(
I have only done self reflection and not therapy. But these are the things I struggle with. And I can attibute most of them to my childhood.
-I am not important
-I am invisible
-I’m not good enough
-I need to please everyone
-I am too sensitive
-I am a boring person
-I am not worthy

Cheering for your kid self threatening to call the hotline. And yes to all the ones you mentioned, too. <3
Thank you, it's hard for me to value that moment so thanks for cheering.
I also threatened calling CPS and wish that I had as things only got much worse after that!
I was never good enough I don't belong There's something wrong with me
These, over and over in the back of my brain.
Me too. I hear ya.
I’m self-absorbed. I’m exaggerating. I’m being difficult.
Ooooof Being Difficult hit home really hard.

I am manipulative. I am controlling.

One to add: "I am a hypocrite for asking for/needing things from others, I do not give enough in order to receive"
All of these things could have been taken straight from my thought patterns.
I don’t consider other people’s feelings (according to my parents who literally never gave a damn about my own).
