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

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

Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned Curious how this plays out.

Just reading this, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why opinions are all over the place Interested to see the follow-up.

this depends heavily on what happens next so the response doesn’t surprise me Time will tell.

Putting bias aside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.
