11I didn’t realize this is what I have been doing. But I feel I have censored my self, my thoughts, and feelings in order to avoid certain ramifications of voicing how I feel. Being in an abusive relationship for over 25 years, I am sure I over do the censoring of myself. People look at me and say, “you are to nice, I am saying what you want to say”….So where does this put me in the realm of all this?

Hi Patty, I’m not sure where it puts you. For me, the first step was admitting my own thoughts and feelings to myself; then finding a safe relationship to voice some of my thoughts and feelings (employ a professional if you have to – in many countries there are free phone counselling services you can use). For me – who is deeply introverted and was remarkably socially inept – it took ages to get a sense of how to express myself.
My values are: if you are in an abusive relationship, find a safe way to leave (taking who and what you need with you) as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your comment, I hope this helps (at least to give you some starting points for thought).
