So, when I was little, my brother and I were normal, happy kids. My brother had Autism (quite severe), but neither of us were neglected so it was fine. So why in the world do I have such bad vulnerability issues? I cannot do anything in front of people, nothing! I also have both social and regular anxiety because of this. There is one thing that I think may have caused this. Ever since I was little, my brother and I were always taught not to cry. We were both scolded when we cried instead of comforted. We were low key being taught to show no emotion but happiness. Of course, my brother didn’t catch on to that, because of the Autism, and is probably fine. Then there’s me. Because I was taught not to ever cry, I don’t cry. No matter what, I don’t cry. Or really show any negative emotions. My friends think I’m the happiest person they know. Yeah right. So I can only be myself when no one is around, and that’s never, due to my overprotective parents. Do you guys think that’s what caused my vulnerability issues? I think so.

Back injury, sense of identity and well being
Three years ago I injured my back and caused a bulging disk in my lumbar spine. I was out of bodybuilding and lifting for 3 months. This year I injured it again...
Don't know. I don't have autism or any form of it like ASD. You might want to consider seeing a therapist.
I suffer from mental illnesses no doubt. People often confuse an intellectual disability with a mental illnesses and vice versa. It takes a certified professional with proper experience and credentials to diagnosed a person and inform you what's going on with you.

ReplyI think you may be correct. I am taking AP psychology (I'm in High school and AP means college level btw), and one thing I have learned is that suppressing emotions or having a parent force a child to only be positive can do some real bad things to a kid. A way that you could try to be a little less vulnerable-feeling is finding someone to talk to, be it a friend or a counselor (out or in school type). I am only a student though, so I may not be 100% correct.
You should express all emotions though. That's part of being human. I hope everything ends up okay!
