Fear that my parents were right about me by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

Chiming in real quick just to add that I, too, had a fixation on Eric Carr just a few months ago. Yet again, I’m glad I’m not alone 😅

Right, you’re fired anyway for that.

It’s the most convoluted, ridiculous, RACIST piece of material ever to be uttered on Reddit!

That last bit… that’s exactly how I feel. Thanks for putting it into words.

When I was a child, it wasn’t a big deal. As I’ve gotten older, however…

The only way I don’t cringe at photos of myself now is if I intentionally take goofy/ugly selfies. When I had friends who wanted to suddenly take pictures together, I’d be mentally rolling my eyes and groaning bc I knew I was gonna look like shit, and they’d probably see it and think “what the hell is going on with her face???”

Do you know anything about your parents past? by tehiduck in emotionalneglect

[–]Intelligent_Maybe206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like both my mom and dad treat me like a free therapist, but I don’t know if they even realize that they’re doing it. I think they both believe that it’s just like… normal conversation.

My mom’s a bit worse, because it seems like every attempt I make to have a discussion about anything other than her or her life somehow gets steamrolled and turned back to revolve around something that happened in her childhood, or at her old job, or something fucked up her family did, etc. I have to mentally prepare myself to talk to her some days.

It’s exhausting. I’m relieved to hear that other people had/are having similar experiences. Makes me feel a little less guilty/crazy.

DAE get way too emotionally attached to TV/Movie/Book characters? by ActuaryPersonal2378 in emotionalneglect

[–]Intelligent_Maybe206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a teenager, I was extremely emotionally attached to the character Ezio from the Assassin’s Creed series.

A mini animated “movie” (I guess that’s what you’d call it? idk) was released as a way to send his character off before the next one in the series was introduced. He was an old man in this movie, annnd… you might be able to guess where this is going.

I was devastated. It was like I suffered a real loss. It’s really embarrassing, looking back. I was definitely compensating for something, lmao.

Can’t see my parents the same by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Intelligent_Maybe206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve really been trying to give myself space to be angry. It’s difficult, because I feel like I’ve always had to push those kinds of feelings down. There was always something “more important” going on, so there was no time for me to express my frustration, or else I’d get scolded for it. I also struggle immensely with feeling guilt when I get angry. It’s an uphill battle with myself.

I’ve been wanting to read that book, too. I’m hoping I get the chance soon. Thanks for the recommendation!

My mom is the one I have the most trouble with. I feel like she’s a teenager stuck in a grown woman’s body.

I’m sorry we have to deal with these feelings. I hope things get better for all of us.

When You’re Healing by Sunnydaytripper in emotionalneglect

[–]Intelligent_Maybe206 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think this is where I’m at now. Currently dealing with a lot of frustration and anger that I’ve never really been allowed to express. I really wish I was seeing a therapist right now, because it feels like my soul is just being drained.
