How it affects your relationships
You aim to please and you apologize often. Rather than being excited when you’ve completed something nice—like making a wonderful dinner for your partner—you worry you forgot something, or start inspecting your work for flaws. This could also make it hard for your partner to even give you small notes in the relationship because it triggers the enormous fear and self-loathing you used to feel around your parents. So, for example, your partner may feel he needs to walk on eggshells and cannot so much as tell you you’ve left the bathroom a little dirty. The worry it will cause you isn’t worth the tidy bathroom.
