Sounds like you're unhappy being imposed on. Authority didn't do right by you, so now maybe you see outside rules and expectations as threats, or at least constraints? I can relate a bit: I had to deal with a lot of arbitrary rule-setting and enforcement growing up, and I ended up timid not just through my teens but into my mid-twenties. I like to think I healed up from that, but I'm past my thirtieth birthday now. All I can do is wish you a swift recovery from being squished into a box as a kid. Seriously, you're not alone. Not sure if you'd want to hear a 'what worked for me' line, so I'll save it for later--or never 😅
