@Dreamy the outside world is full of self-entitled arsehats.
They don’t have a clue. It’s NOT YOU. It’s definitely THEM.

@Glisten but when it's family it just hurts even more.
But it's always me, I'm always the one in the wrong, I'm the failure, the mistake, the burden, the screw up.

@Dreamy reads like a Textbook family Scapegoat situation to me.
My closest friend who is in her 50s, only just worked out in the last 6 months, that she has always been the family Scapegoat.

Yes you are stoic.
A stoic empath I believe describes you.
How ever you were more ---- a bit sensitive when you and I met. Please tell me I'm wrong if you feel I'm wrong.
" From the internet -
Stoicism is a perfect philosophy for empaths, those people who are keenly attuned to the emotions and needs of others.
