“Unlocking the Past: 10 Surprising Childhood Experiences That Shape Your Ability to Stand Up for Yourself”
7) Inconsistent parenting
In my own life, I’ve found that inconsistent parenting during my childhood led to uncertainty in my adult life, particularly when it came to asserting myself.
One moment, my parents would be supportive and encouraging, and the next, they would be distant or dismissive. This inconsistency left me constantly unsure of where I stood or what to expect.
This uncertainty spilled over into my adult relationships and interactions. I often found it hard to stand up for myself or assert my needs, as I was always unsure of the reaction I might receive. This lack of consistency in my early life experiences shaped my struggle with assertiveness, something I’ve worked hard to overcome.
