Me as a kiddo: no filter, always said what's on my mind, got in trouble a lot, got shamed for it a lot
Me in my teens: bad anxiety, overthinks before saying ANYTHING bc I didn't wanna say sth wrong, shamed for not talking
Me now: slowly trying to overcome my anxiety, but I never learned how to develop a healthy filter so now I'm blurting out shit that's on my mind half of the time and feeling anxious and not saying anything the other half of the time
