I know a lot of people will relate to this. Growing up, I HATED hearing my parents say, "I'm disappointed in you." I would have rather had just about any punishment than hear those words. I could not tolerate them being disappointed.

When we’ve been hurt, it's natural to seek control. Control promises safety, predictability, and the illusion that we can prevent future pain. We create strict rules and rigid routines, believing that these will protect us. For example, someone who has been hurt in relationships might decide never to be vulnerable again, adhering strictly to this self-imposed rule to avoid potential heartbreak.
