Life has not been easy for me from the beginning. I was born in an orthodox middle-class family, all the family members and relatives were narrow-minded. My parents are very strict, they always compare me with others and criticize every work. They always think negatively and never support me in anything.

It has not been an easy task to live with them, I became an overthinker because of them. It feels very bad when you are doing everything to become successful and your family members demotivate you every time. Not everyone can understand it because most parents are supportive and feel proud of their children.

If someone else would be there at my place then they could never have achieved anything in their life. When someone tells you that you are not worthy and can't achieve anything in your life then you can not stay motivated. Moreover, if a person is not motivated, they can't believe in themselves.

If a stranger tries to pull you down then it doesn't affect you that much but if your family does the same then you can't even think how depressing it is. Imagine living with someone who doesn't find anything good in you and considers you dumb. It can sound childish but it is not, being an overthinker is such a bad thing. I was forced to overthink everything, for example, what if it doesn't happen in this way, what if it goes wrong, and more.

The mind starts creating unnecessary troubles in your life, normal things start affecting you so much. You can't do what you want, you feel controlled like a robot. Your preferences don't matter, you live a life that others want you to live. There is so much mental pressure daily because of things that don't even matter.

That's why my short-term goal is to become independent where no one controls me. I want to live my life according to me, my decisions should not be taken by anyone else.
