- I have some childhood issues where I am scared of humiliation from people or consequences from authority, such as people shouting at me. My subconscious has a pattern where I won't shout or say something until I am completely done with that person. This depletes my \[\[Will Power]] as well. It feels like there is a train of thought in the back of my mind, worrying that if I don’t address someone completely, they might confront me or criticize me. How can I address these issues?
