In my last blog I was blowing blogging off steam.
I do find it difficult to know where I am to fit into my family as a adoptee.
I do want to be honest
I confess that I find it difficult to trust people.
People have treated me poorly.
I have to communicate what I need.
I use to blow up and say exactly what I am thinking.
I have learned I have to not to react and say the first thing that comes to mind.
I wait to feel better.
I have held onto things for too long. I want to blow up.
It is my own fault that I haven't spoken up.
I need to Check and to clarify things with people before I react and
not put things off
I have learned I have to say How things make me feel. Rather than store things up.
I tend to blow up. A headache doesn't help.
I can't push things down.
I have to understand where people are coming from.
There's an explanation for things if I bother to ask.
I am learning that being kind means understanding Where a person is coming from.
I confess that I have been judging. I have been out of line. I need to Ask before I react.
Sometimes honesty doesn't come naturally when it comes to stating what I need.
I guess it is because I have been Gaslighted.
It doesn't matter! Don't over react.
My feelings matter even if it doesn't make sense to others.
Even if we disagree on how a incident happened.
I know how it made me feel.
Thanks for listening! Reading
This has been my week.
