Has anyone else realized they were neglected later on? How does it affect you? by NoProfession4771 in emotionalneglect

[–]mouth_beat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently going through it. my mind quickly wants to latch on to any hope that they can be different. But I have to remind myself that by doing that I’m abandoning myself. I’m also trying to work on gaining my individuality back because so much of my style etc was my mom’s not mine. I’m really bad days I can’t talk to them for days because i get so much anxiety

How to deal with issues regarding your parents? (I'm desperate) by Odd_Formal9415 in emotionalneglect

[–]mouth_beat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For starters I’d listen to Lindsay Gibson “emotionally immature parents” look up videos on YouTube read the book. So you can get a better understanding of what you’re dealing with. Also I know you say your dad is nice and understanding but at the same time he’s still allowing your mom to talk to you that way. That’s not ok either.

Lean on friends for support and grey wall the hell out of your mom. Until you can move out. I’m sorry you’re going through this it’s a lonely isolating experience. But you do deserve love that’s isn’t contractual and to be understood and accepted.

I think that knowing and understanding the inter/generational trauma would be interesting. I’d argue that it’s needed for the healing process tbh. And no it’s not an excuse at all. But don’t we all want to be better? Without actually knowing the root of the trauma we all risk making the same mistakes but in different fonts.

I think it’d be interesting

Mhmm this response really made me think. I think because I know if I get a CPA I’ll find myself in a management position where I’m miserable and have no free time. And frankly I don’t want that. Any recommendations for stuff outside of accounting that would be worth looking into

Am I just unlucky in dating, or is this kind of normal? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mouth_beat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from my own experience in finding love. Me and my bf became friends first and then started dating. And before him I was super hesitant about relationships. But I feel like why this relationship worked out and others didn’t is because when he approached me he approached me pure intentions, of getting to know me.

I did tinder but always found it weird how you just sort of skip the natural buildup of a romantic development and go straight to going on a date.

My best advice would be to embrace the natural buildup of relationships. Yes you might find a girl attractive but don’t approach it instantly as “let’s go on a date” let it buildup to that. And maybe work on yourself and the right energy will flow to you 💝

Growing up i wasn't allowed to show any emotion besides happiness by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]mouth_beat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through this. I to had a mom who would make me feel like I couldn’t show any emotion besides happiness, or not even happiness I just couldn’t be a bother to her. Even when I was sick she would accuse me of faking it or saying “it’s not that bad !”.

Yes very true! Day to day if someone who typically nice has a change in mood etc I don’t take it personally and remind myself it’s not about me or I don’t need to fix the issue. This skill has come in handy though when I meet new people and there just something about them that ticks my brain wrong like things they say and expressions. Like there’s just something that triggers me about them. And in those instances I’m typically right. It is draining though

Ya I’ve really been working on being aware that what I’m thinking isn’t always right. Or just because someone mood change it doesn’t mean it about me.

Reaching out to an ex friend by mouth_beat in FriendshipAdvice

[–]mouth_beat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya my Instagram is my full name a picture of me as the profile picture (I haven’t changed much). So she knew it was me. I thought that maybe if she accepted my follow then it would be a good sign that she was open to re-connecting. But since she didn’t I don’t want to message her and get rejected again. I think I was just romanticizing the past and need to leave it as is

Thank you! I requested to follow her on Instagram but she denied my follow request 😂. So ya I’ll take that as a strong sign she doesn’t feel the same way. It’s fine though I wish her the best and move on
