Therapist Explains Why You're Worried About People Being Mad At You
Briefly

"It's a truth bomb, so hold my hand while I tell you this: It's because nobody's ever been mad at you and still made you feel like they love you at the same time."
"...through words or actions, parents can make their children feel unloved when they're upset, either through silent treatment, withdrawing..."
"When we drop something like that on their developing brain, they're not going to be able to critically think and see the nuance there. They're going to hear 'you don't love me.'"
"Your lived experience of anger is that it doesn't go well for you. That person loves you one minute and then when they get mad, they don't give a sh*t about you."
