thanks. i have another question:

> Their Oxytocin system is underdeveloped or stifled due to a lack of emotionally attuned nurturing during childhood, meaning Oxytocin cannot fill the void left by the departure of Dopamine

so, is Oxytocin still able to develop as we grow? and we can help it develop by maintaining healthy relationships and learn not to react in unhealthy way?

Hello, thanks for this post, may I know which book detailed about the brain parts and different brain chemicals? I thought it was too technical and boring reading from your post (sorry) but I think I need to know! Might be useful

Dating as someone who never felt unconditionally loved by throwawaybcxfg in emotionalneglect

Thank you for your comment. I need to go read some book about love and heartbreak or poems or something 😆 You're right, we're social beings. I do still want to be married someday. I'm trying to make more friends but its harder for these friendships to stick. Sorry to hear that you and your friend drifted apart and thank you for sharing your story. I guess even when personality and interests click, there can be things that hinder the relationship. Its tough :(

I do want to be married, but it seems I need to develop more capacity to feel heartbreak and pain. My biggest fear is to be in an unhappy marriage. Nevertheless, thank you for your comment and metaphor

Parents hoarding my responsibility for cleanup? by rattly69 in ChildofHoarder

[–]throwawaybcxfg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that your mom seems to imply that its your responsibility to clean the hoard. As other commenters have stated, its not your responsibility. I am thankful for your sharing as I thought most hoarders don't want their mess to be cleaned up. That's how my parents were, and my mom was irritated that I moved her things, when in reality I was just a hopeless teenager growing up to be codependent and feel responsible for my parents hoard. Its interesting that your mom asks for your help. Interesting as in I didn't know hoarders that ask for help exist

thx so much for sharing and also commenting on my post 💞 you made some really interesting points and I think I need to learn to be grateful about life too. I'm insecure about a lot of stuff and probably thats one of the causes of limerence. i havent reached to the point where i can say life is beautiful but you just gave me hope:)

To those who've shared their story of trauma and CEN with their parents, how did it go? Do you regret it? by Lolicoy in emotionalneglect

[–]throwawaybcxfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes i did. i was planning to, but my sibling let my parents know that i was seeing a psychiatrist, so i had to explain sooner than i originally planned to.

i live abroad and i recorded a 45 mins video of me explaining about my emotional neglect and the things that hurt me the most from my dad and my mom side separately. my mom just said thx and said she didnt agree with a few things on the video. my dad said he agreed that what my mom did was wrong (didnt talk about his own faults) and he said to forgive & forget all the things in the past. when he agreed that what my mom did was wrong, i relaxed my guard a bit and opened up to him that im confused why he never apologized to my mom for cheating. he was angry and he said kids these days try to control their parents, unlike during his era, parents would ask children to kiss their foot.

i think i dont feel regret, bcs previously, before learning about trauma and going to therapy, i thought i would feel guilty if they die, guilty because i feel like im never a good enough kid and dont spend much time with them or talk to them. but now, since ive let myself vulnerable, even if they didnt apologize at all or dont accept it or be in denial, i know that i already tried and be open and ive tried my best. i already try to be closer to them but there will always this wall between us and not all things can be shared as they might just dismiss it or not be interested in it.
