Criticism

If I am wrong I will gladly acknowledge that and do what I can to fix my problems...

But my mum yesterday criticised me a lot. I had a huge lecture about how I’m so and so (i.e selfish.. I am a very giving person and very caring for my boyfriend for instance).

He also gave me a huge message on how I am too. I understand I should take that and learn from it, but.... is it ok for me to feel absolutely s*** too about myself?

He said things like ‘I’m unfair to him as I do a lot to get what I want and not consider how he doesn’t like texting yet I push and I’m selfish. That I put him down apparently (i don’t ever put him down) but he rightfully feels that I am not supporting him by being the best I could for his anxiety. Basically blaming his anxiety on me. He said he has no faith in me. I didn’t cry, rather i recognised what I had done wrong and wanted to rectify my mistakes, but having both of them criticise me at once? I said I’ll mature up.. before I turn 18 in September..

My mum added on ‘even he can see what’s wrong with you and he’s the same age as you, he’s not going to want to be with you any longer so prepare yourself for that’.

I feel so so so down right now...
