Why does my family nitpick things about me that I can’t change and just things I do?
I am 25(f) and I live at home with my parents. my whole life they have always pointed out specific things about me and in a way make fun of me. for an example my sister constantly calls me annoying and says my voice is too high for her to listen to, she also always comments on my clothing and makeup and of course it’s never good enough. They also talk negatively about certain parts of my body that I was never insecure about but have developed insecurities because of things they have said. It’s just been this way ever since I was a kid. Every time I mention how what they are saying irritates me they just make me feel worse and invalidate my feelings. What do I do? It just sucks because I am genuinely scared of intimacy with anyone because I am so scared for people to see my body and just spend time alone with me. I need help. Also I made this as short as possible and there are many examples I could give but that would take forever.
