My father was the eldest son, so he had to take on responsibility early in life. Over time, I feel like that made him… scared. Not weak in a bad way, but more like someone who avoids conflict, lets people walk over him, and always worries things might go wrong. I’ve seen people take advantage of that, and it always made me feel bad for him.

The problem is — I’m starting to see the same traits in myself.

I hesitate, overthink, avoid confrontation, and sometimes feel like I’m just reacting instead of standing my ground. I also catch myself judging him for it internally, which makes me feel worse because I’m literally becoming the same person.

It’s like I’m stuck between understanding why he became this way… and being afraid that I’ll never break out of it.

Has anyone else gone through something like this? How do you stop repeating patterns you grew up with?

TL;DR: My father became overly passive and fearful due to responsibilities, and I’m starting to see the same traits in myself. I don’t like it and don’t know how to break the cycle.
