admitting
Now that I've realized and accepted the fact that I have inner issues that need to be addressed, I'm having difficulty admitting it to people who have been affected by my problems. I mean I guess it's good that I'm doing it because at least I'm not avoiding the conversation, the way I might have or currently want to, but it's still difficult. I don't want to be judged, or pittied, or asked lots of questions, but of course they ask questions because they're concerned. Yet, that just makes me anxious and such {all over again.

I have little intelligent to say. You seem quite genuine in neither suppressing your feelings or leaving people you mayˆ ˆhave harmed. Perhaps there is someone who can help you guide you on a path where you and others are healed?
Well, that is one of the reasons I initiated therapy. My hope was to receive some guidance on this before attempting contact with said people. However they've reached out before I could do so, and I feel like I can't face them, but that I should, because not doing so will most likely make hings worse.
@lowviz1
You've made a step on the path. I waited almost 25 years to do so! Congratulationss!
I don't know anything about you or your situation so none of this may even apply but I believe the meaning of life is self examination. Once you truly accept, confront, and forgive yourself is when you can move on. Build meaningful relationships in life but first with yourself. Maybe you are having trouble with others because you haven't forgiven yourself? The primary voice in your head that should matter is yours not that of other peoples.
