Hello Dear Friends,
I am 26yo Male, of Indian origin living in Australia.
I have low self esteem issues. I think this is a result of too much negative criticism from my parents and surrounding. I am jobless right now. Whenever my parents call me(which they do every other day), the only thing they want to know is about my job, or car settlement(had an accident in jan 20, and i m dealing with other party insurer currently). I have been too much overprotective, and have been deprived of my right to take own decisions, even at crucial stages of my life. Whenever I do something, my parents or relatives always see negative in it, and criticise me harshly! The criticism is generally about job, my negligible friends, bad social life, introvert nature etc.
Because of all this I have developed low self esteem, and always doubt myself. I am always in dilemma nowadays even on making small decisions.
And while making big decisions, I am very much worried, if even a minor thing goes wrong!
Recently, I purchased another car! Actually my mom is coming tomorrow from India. I thus did it quickly. If I would have not taken the car till she comes, she would have criticised me when she would found that nobody wants to help me to see the car(as i dont have much friends)! I am still worried of getting all the negative feedback from my mom about the things i mentioned earlier! And she is living with me for 3 months! I should have been happy, but I am feeling more sad unfortunately! My life without parents (especially mom) has been peaceful I would say!
So coming back to car! The car deal sounded good, and it was nice to drive as well. However, went to servicing and it has engine oil leaks and coolant leaks!! I dont want my mom to know this ofc! She would criticise me!
Bcoz of this incident, I am not feeling good. Please motivate me! I would also like you to give me tips about making friends! I have no good friend on whom I can rely here in Australia!
