Why do I have a bad feeling about telling a close relative about my project/something I am working on?

I have a bad experience with telling people things like my dreams, my projects, things I’m working on. I always feel like they want to sabotage me somehow.
I know what is meant to be will happen, and I know my intentions were good, so my heart should be at peace.
But I still feel like something is off.
I told some people very close to me how I truly felt and a project I’ve had going on for a long time now.
Before this, I was closed off with them. And honestly I can see why. I was mentally, physically and emotionally in a bad place. Extremely exhausted, underweight, not taking care of myself, everything.
And honestly? I’m recovering from this bad place. This college thing really destroyed me I won’t lie. I know it’s not the college but my perspective, though it is not that easy.
How can I stop worrying that I said something I shouldn’t have said?
I really feel that something is off, they were extremely supportive but I feel a sting of “I’d like her to succeed but not too much”
I’m frustrated. Irritated. I always feel like people don’t want my success. And if you tell me I am projecting, oh my God… I am anonymous on here, and I’m telling you, I really want everyone to succeed in ever

If you zoom out, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where the disagreement starts Others will probably see it differently.

I get the idea, this feels more about execution than intent which is why the comments look the way they do This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.

Stepping back, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting.

Without overthinking it, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Without overthinking it, this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what makes this interesting.

Reaction: Why am I scared? Probably because one time my grandma got pulled over when I was a kid and she told the cop that her bad driving was because of me and he came to my window. I didnt do anythi

On the surface, this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Hard to say where this lands long term.

If you zoom out, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which explains why reactions are split That’s what changes the context.

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which is why this is getting picked apart

Honestly, this feels rushed rather than thought through Let’s see what happens next.

From the outside, the wording alone shifts how people read this so the response doesn’t surprise me Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
