I use to be very self sufficient. I helped my mother run our family as my dad didn't help at all with work or housework. I practically helped do much of the housework while my mum raised us 4 kids and worked. So I learned to be self sufficient before I was 10. I use to wonder what is wrong with people that have learned helplessness. I couldn't understand it. Now I've got it, I feel that my brain is just wired wrong. It feels learned helplessness is being sufficient so I am being as helpless as I can. I is cruel because you are punishing yourself more than the people around you and it doesn't matter how much you put yourself down, you can not turn around your thinking.
Mine comes from sexual abuse in my childhood. I know the exact memory that planted the seed for my mind getting into a muddle state. I wouldn't like to repeat it on here though. I would like to imagine that me being weak now is helping my younger self feel strong enough to get through life 25 years ago.
