I think the reason that I internalized a lot of stuff about Problems With Me is because (without this being a judgement of what was actually said) instead of hearing “you made a mistake” e.g. when I knocked a glass over at the dinner table as an eight year old I heard “you have a deficiency” e.g. ‘you need to work on being more aware of where you are in space’
and then I never heard “you’ve gotten better at this” so I just carried “I have a deficiency” with me forever.
