Social Anxiety Support

Yesterday my dad seemed really overbearing and was very critical of me pretty much the whole day. Brian do this, Brian do that, Brian u don't do anyrthing. The house was getting renovated, the floor wass being replaced and the place looked like a mess. One remark after the other, I finally exploded and told him off. Pretty nuch put the blame on him about my anxiety and said he was cold hearted/he didn't know how to treat ppl well, and other comments that were very explicit. He kicked me out and I said I never wanted to see him again. Now I'm staying at my uncles place, It took me 1 day topack and move all my things. It was such a turn of events but boy do I feel better. I got rid of the negativity in my life and I feel a bit of self confidence to standing up to the person who made mw feel inferior for so long.

congrats! sometimes you need to leave a bad influence to get better. it was the same way with my father as well, but to a lesser degree. and while leaving didn't solve everything, it definitely helped a little. and i can still visit him, but just for short times. anyways, enjoy life at your uncle's place and explore ur newfound freedom!
