Feeling a bit frustrated and vulnerable today. A family member criticized me on something’s they don’t like about me. I take critique deeply from those whose opinion I hold in esteem. I don’t completely agree or disagree with the criticism. I feel like they took some things I’ve said and done entirely opposite the way it was intended. That frustrates me because I look at some things and feel “Well damn I was completely wrong about how you would feel about this...and I was really trying to make you feel good (happy, joyful etc)”. It’s a somewhat helpless feeling to me if I think I’m doing something to make a person happy and I find out they’re hurt by my actions.
I apologized regardless. Unfortunately I also decided to keep a certain part of me to myself and I don’t like that.
This is a ramble. I’ll come back to pen something more coherent later. I just need to say this somewhere.
