‘You have a problem with confrontation’ ( a psych nurse)

Confrontation means I will upset someone, rock the boat, stand up for myself (and I always seem to fail at that). The last person I want to upset is me.

Key quotes:
I still regularly feel out of place and like I don’t belong or really fit in.
