My parents are incredibly hard workers and would work past the breaking point, leading them to be stressed and irritable. I know it was to give my sisters and I good opportunities, so I am thankful. I wish, however, that they would realize that relaxing and having fun is OK and something they need to do to sustain themselves.

The one that has affected me most significantly is Financial management: living within my means, bills, debts, credit, taxes, credit scores, savings, emergency funds and budgeting… in turn that converted to being stuck in bad situations, abusive relationships, horrible jobs and endangering myself in various ways trying to numb the pain.
Money conversations were off limits and I spent my 20’s being anxious, severely in debt and ashamed that I didn’t know better.

0 0points reply #23 i wish they had told me that it's ok to have some standards or expectations in relationships.
I have been told that should be grateful if anyone ever wants to spend time with me, since I'm "so difficult" and just "an intense person".
It's probably right, I think I am indeed too intense and somewhat hard to be around.
But still.
When I was with my first boyfriend, I never said no to anything.

I recommend three things: 1) Be friends first. If you just jump into a relationship without being friends first, of course you will seem like "a lot to handle".

But if you are friends first, you build a relationship where they get to know who you are and how you function slowly. 2) Understand you can be a lot and find ways to spread out your 'a lot-ness'.
