anonymous asks: Rather than one significant childhood event, I think a lot of my problems are rooted in the basic idea that mistakes are unacceptable. I have dyspraxia which has made processing information difficult and this causes me to make mistakes on a daily basis. I know that making mistakes is not only beneficial, it’s indicative for learning. However, when you’re surrounded by impatient, exasperated people it’s hard to remember this. I have a love of learning but I hate education. Learning taught me to embrace knowledge. Education taught me to get the right answers and if I don’t, I get the wrong grade. Mistake = failure = stupid = worthless = why was I born? My brain starts playing Chinese whispers with itself constantly. People think I fly into rage, but they don’t appreciate the processes which are taking place in my/our heads. I hit myself in the head a lot when I’m in a rage. I think I feel at the time that if I hammer hard enough, the stupid will leave or the knowledge will stay in. I hate this so much. I’d love somebody to make a jibe at me and I just laugh it off without feeling like my heart is being repeatedly stabbed. Can you relate to this at all?
