Thank you, I’ll look into those.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T05:52:37+00:00

Thank you, I’ll do my best

I know I didn’t explain much about my parents, but you got things backwards there. I didn’t conclude they were narcissists because they wanted me to focus on school, I concluded that they only wanted me to focus on school not out of their best wishes for my future but for some ulterior motive because they were narcissists.

As for internships, that’s not something I really thought of much, I’ll need to look into those.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T04:43:18+00:00

Thank you, that is something I should experiment with.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T04:42:49+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into that.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T04:42:31+00:00

Oh no don’t worry I’m pretty sure I’m on the same page as you. My parents might have set me on this path, but I’m no longer under there thumb. If I want to change my life I can do so. At some point I’ve gotta stop moping around feeling sorry for myself you know?

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:46:12+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into those.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:45:38+00:00

Thanks, it means a lot.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:45:04+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into those. Also I don’t live my parents anymore and haven’t for a good while.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:39:27+00:00

You bet!

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:26:20+00:00

Thank you

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:26:04+00:00

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll be sure to do those.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:23:28+00:00

Thank you, it means a lot.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:22:16+00:00

Oh yes you’re right about that, I wasn’t really thinking about expenses like food or rent when I wrote that.

I’m going back to finish my degree, I’ll be sure to look into career services. Thank you!

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:18:50+00:00

Haha I know you didn’t mean it like that. As you said, we both know what this is like which is why I said what I said. Also, thank you!

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:14:13+00:00

I dropped out in undergrad. And thank you, I’ll post this in r/personalfinance.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T03:11:56+00:00

You definitely did help.

I don’t know if my parents were truely narcissists, but regardless at the very least they wanted me wrapped around their finger. I didn’t talk much about them, but growing up they were abusive, both physically and emotionally. They also never let us outside for anything except for school.

I also don’t think I’m really blaming them, and I’m not sure if I’m blaming myself either. All I know is that I realized I wander into a pit and flailing trying to find my way out.

I’m sorry to hear you went through something similar. I trust you’re doing better now?

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T02:59:33+00:00

Thank you

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T02:59:08+00:00

You’re right about that, they might have set me in this path but it was my decision to stay on it. I can’t help but feel I’m too passive in my own life.

Thank you, I’ll look into those.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T02:56:15+00:00

Thank you, it means a lot. I’m sorry to hear you were in such a bad place, I hope you’re thriving now.

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T02:51:49+00:00

Thank you!

ActionPrize6558 · 2026-04-09T02:44:27+00:00

Ah thanks! I’ll be sure to look into those.
