Is it normal that my mother is making my anxiety more complicated.

Well, I do love my mom, but what I really hate about her is that whenever I do something and I failed, she will point it out. And she love pointing out my mistakes in public, ugh! And everyone can hear about our private matter, it happens all the time.

    It's to purposely make you feel embarrassed or ashamed so you can "do better".

    Personally, I think shitty parents do this, including mine. This outdated way of motivating children to do better causes psychological problems, especially excessive yelling and exaggerating small issues, which creates a cycle of dysfunction, depression, and anxiety. Thanks to my grandmother and her shitty parenting, I have to deal with my mother and her mess.

    My advice, become aware of what's right or wrong. Try to break the cycle. Your mother is acting this way because her mother/father/guardian treated her this way, and she never learned any better or unknowingly projecting her bitterness onto you by causing the same discomfort she felt; don't become like that. Find ways to relax, and don't take her behavior personally, especially if you know that what you did wrong wasn't that bad.

    Well, some parents likes to point out there childrens mistake all the time. My mother does this most of the time in front of people who I know but also does this in front of total strangers. I really feel very embarrassed at the time.
