Will I ever be able to accept criticism without crying?
I'm an adult, but I'm completely incapable of hearing negative things about myself without crying.
If my boss says I forgot to do something, if someone complains about something I did, or criticizes/questions one of my decisions, I start crying and can't speak.
I'm mortified by this. I'm usually a serious person, and everyone says I'm responsible, so crying at the slightest sign of negativity seems ridiculous to me.
This makes my parents think I'm not capable of being independent.
How can I ever have a romantic relationship if the other person needs to deal with me crying during every relationship discussion?
