A direct quote from Robbie Williams within an interview he did a year or so ago.
I'd be surprised if this is an uncommon experience on here. The extent of my people-pleasing is that the thought of hurting someone, even unintentionally, is horrendous. When it actually happens, it's even worse.
It's the thing of "are they going to be so angry with me that they'll try to hurt me?", and when that has been proven to be true, it's hard to not believe that. When you have also turned the entire world against you like I have, you're pretty much stuck with that feeling. The "you need to move on" advice becomes even more unhelpful.
HMO said:It's the thing of "are they going to be so angry with me that they'll try to hurt me?",
In my case it’s more of a shame response: I must be a terrible person if they feel that way.
Yeah. They confirm all the negative things I've said about myself.
