does anyone else deal with the need to tell their parents everything bc if you don’t you feel like they don’t know you? especially if you feel like you’ve done something wrong?
100%. This is my hardest compulsion to shake off. I have told my mom EVERYTHING about myself because I thought she wouldn’t know me unless she knew every single detail big or small. I think the most straight-forward way to combat this is to ask yourself, “do I know every single detail about my mom? If not, do I think I still know her?” I would bet you likely do still feel like you know her despite not knowing every single bit of information that has anything to do with her. As for how I handle the compulsion to confess, I have figured out to think of it this way: if I feel the absolute NEED to confess or share information and if I don’t then I have high anxiety, that’s a sign to NOT share it. If I feel like I’m making a conscious decision to talk about something I want to, then I will share it. The only way you will feel any relief is by giving your best effort to stop doing the compulsion to confess. Until then, the urge is going to be overwhelming and very strong. Best wishes to you and remember you are not alone at all!!! I know this struggle all too well! 🖤
Yes I feel exactly the same way! I tell my mom everything even if I know she is going to be upset with me or when I was younger if I knew I would get in trouble, I just feel so guilty if I do not tell her everything
