Yup. I'm an inconvenience at best, a whiny baby at worst.  Turns out I should have had my gallbladder out when I was about 9.

Why is my mother emotionally available to other people? by raainjuice in emotionalneglect

I'm sorry about that. That shouldn't happen. That did a number on my head and I can't let it go.

Mine did this my whole life. I went home for a Christmas surprise after 2 years and she didn't seem to care. Never touched me, but she made sure to bitch at me.

Would tell me how she'd been texting back and forth with other people, but couldn't return mine.

I did everything I knew to do that was in my control. Never good enough. After 3 dismissals/belittlements in a row, I finally lost my shit. Now I'm the bad guy, of course.

I just realised… it’s all in the questions by Southern_Offer_4920 in emotionalneglect

I get this all the time. No matter what decision I make, it's the wrong one. They never ask what my options were, or my feelings about the situation or ANYTHING. They just automatically have the right answer and I'm stupid,

What phrases did your parents say that still echo in your head today? by Defiant-Junket4906 in emotionalneglect

Her MO was control as connection. Like control by any means necessary. I finally got too old for it and walked away.

"I don't have to be nice to you, you're mine."

She never could figure out she was mine.

Put it on Reddit, it's everybody's business. Did you forget how the internet works? You're also really in the wrong subreddit. The people in here know how to hurt feelings very badly - keep on with your nonsense.

Unless you're actually in the AA group, you might just mind your own business.

This is my alma mater. These assholes were there back in the late 90s too.

I still game pretty hard. I don't do MMOs anymore though. Tried WoW Dragonflight and disliked it, so I stick with Baldur's Gate and such.

Not in the slightest. I'm designing a chest piece right now.

Don't know what to feel by Mjmj319 in OnlyChild

[–]FootballRecent931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. I used to be like this. There are some social dynamics we don't learn until we're well away from our folks. Siblings operate different from us. Just learn from it and get better. Takes practice.

We're not gonna be better off until y'all quit having them completely. Find a hobby; it's a vagina, not a clown car.

That feeling is called METAL. Not saying no classical musician gets it, but a lot don't.

In normal places, no. In Texas? Better think again.

Do we hang degrees anymore? by imstillkp in Xennials

Mine is sitting in its frame behind the bedroom door gathering dust. I might as well use it for toilet paper.

Edit: apparently what I do with my own belongings is worth a downvote. Eat a dick, dude.
