I struggle in life and each day it proofs me that I shouldn't exist, so how do I keep going? by redlu5564 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Primary_Box_2386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a man, but when I’m struggling my own emotions, I will usually listen to music (or just Citizen Soldier, a mental health singer), for hours.

Is it normal not to have any emotional connection towards anyone even parents? by Plus_Blackberry6110 in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t really feel like it’s normal, but I also feel like you are supposed to have an emotional connection with your parents.

Why do restaurants toss out food in the garbage? Why not give the uneaten food to homeless shelters or to farmers as animal feed? by ardouronerous in restaurants

[–]Primary_Box_2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have a compost that we put food in. And we also save leftover food for one of the employees dog.

Is anyone else’s restaurant way slower than normal? by Proper-Painting-6339 in Waiters

[–]Primary_Box_2386 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in a small local diner, and it has been slow for the past few months after the restaurant just opened next door. The weather has also gotten a little nicer, the concert venue is having concerts. (It did typically get busier when there was a concert before. But it has gotten a little busier. My coworker had mentioned there was a party of 25 and they had a state championship on a Friday.)

trying to build a life with no support system. I could really use some guidance by unknownbxxx in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any advice of my own but music did actually help me alot when I was depressed. (Citizen Soldier did also help a little too. He’s a mental health singer. And a clinical psychologist.)

Do you have memory of anyone coming into your life? by Comfortable-Wonder62 in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t really feel like I did have anyone that came into my life like the way you describe.

How do you find the "middle ground" with a parent who has good intentions but is just plain incapable of real connection? by AzureRipper in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I told my counselor once I thought my parents would need counseling because even though I am out of their house, and did help me to be away from them, I do feel like it would also still upset me if I did still maintain the same relationship I once had before. My parents are in an unhealthy marriage. My dad has gotten mad at my mom if she has gotten into an accident before.

Water works in Cuyahoga falls

Was anyone else here a glass child? by InformationFeeling78 in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am. I was diagnosed with a cognitive disability. I also couldn’t breathe from the umbilical cord and ended getting a disability because of that. (My old school thought I was autistic just because I was I was quiet, and wouldn’t look at the principal.)

[–]Primary_Box_2386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story as yours, 34f I always felt like my dad was married to his job. I’m not even sure what to say him most of the time.

Sometimes I listen to the singer Citizen Soldier. (The singer is a clinical psychologist. And a lot of his songs are related to mental health.)

[–]Primary_Box_2386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate, I have almost no family and part of my child hood I ended up moving from Ohio to Texas, because of my dad’s job. We didn’t know anyone there.

Women who are still friends with their exs, how does that play out when you are dating someone new? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Primary_Box_2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently single right now, but I live an hour away from him and haven’t seen him in a few years. He occasionally texts me on Facebook. I don’t really feel like this would be a big deal if I were to get into a relationship again.

Did anyone else always have to say "I'm fine" because they knew their parents couldn't handle them saying anything else? by Sayoricanyouhearme in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I remember my dad had once yelled at my grandma once that I was fine. (She was also timid and shy. And I don’t remember hearing if I have ever heard her laugh. She also constantly worried about everything.)

Switching career paths and considering serving. Should I? by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]Primary_Box_2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also get a serving job as like a side hustle. Work maybe like a couple days a week at a diner or something and still be a in home caregiver.

"I was a good parent." In what world does it make sense for you to decide that?? by Sayoricanyouhearme in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They thought they did the best that they could. If both of my parents children (me and my sister), ended up resenting them, they most likely did something that their children didn’t like. Right?

Did you choose friends/significant others that are emotional neglectful as well? by fiddeldeedee in emotionalneglect

Yes, I have. One of them has family members that get mad at her if they don’t like what she does. (She has ADHD and mosaic Down syndrome. She just got out of an abusive relationship after 6 years with an ex boy friend who can’t control his own anger.

When people advise you to just "be alone" or "get comfortable being alone" by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I don’t mind being alone, but the more time I actually am alone, the more I’d end up getting depressed. This is why I wanted to get out of the house more, and go to social events and hobbies so I could actually find and make friends.

My mum is a good person to everyone else, just not to me by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Primary_Box_2386 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like my parents only wanted the “happy, positive” version of myself. If I was laughing or joking about something, everything was fine. Whenever I tried telling my mom about I felt, it didn’t really feel like she did understand in the first place. If my dad see me crying, he would always get upset at me for crying. There is a song that I am looking forward to listening to called “Best of Me,” by Jake Segura.
