I've found as I've grown older that I tend to be really hesitant, afraid to an extent to do a task, bring news to the rest of my immediate family because I tend to be worried that they'll criticise me publicly in front of other family members, or they'll mock me privately for me doing something that I want to do or if it is something they don't want me to do.
When it comes to my close friends, I don't tend to feel that way. Because as my close friends, they'll tell me what they feel maybe with humour or in a genuine caring way.
But in regards to family views, I'm at a stage where I'm feeling rebellious (at the age of 26) and maybe using my anger or temper publicly might help to throw out some of my feelings although it may upset some family members that I've reacted by raising my voice rather than being passive.
I'm hoping, if I do go down the CBT route, that in time I'll be able to express my views, feelings within the family compound but atm, I just feel scared of doing anything incase it backfires one me and I end up the joke.
