You can have the best intentions, but you’ll still never get through your lifetime without disappointing or hurting someone. Many so dread even the thought of this, they’re willing to throw themselves under the bus, in order to save another from incurring difficult feelings.
I think of it as feeling choked. I've felt choked in my childhood, as the water of emotional nourishment was denied to me.
I always felt choked and its akin to having a dry throat that never feels better, no matter how much water you drink.
I've noticed something else; mal-adaptive personalities, evil ones, often wish to choke others in the same way.
Mothers, knowing their daughters need love and affection, will deliberately deny it - deliberately withhold nourishment and deliberately withhold emotional intimacy.
We live in a cruel world; and there is no respite except real inner-healing work that we all must do.
I now have a special resentment for those who hurt children; but what can anyone do - if the abuser is the parent themselves?
Nothing but hope and pray. No law can make a person loving. Nothing can compel Love.
Take care, Ma'am.
In your work, you have saved yourself, and brought some of us with you. I've had the same childhood and the same friendships. It's like madness when I think about it - because at that time, it felt wholly natural and apt.

Thank you for your comments, and for being a fan of my work. It means a lot to me.
