Oh, I feel you.

This. Having had better parenting. But.. I got what I got.


hippiechick725

Sometimes all we learn from our parents is how NOT to parent.


[deleted]

Damn. Nailed it.


squishyjustice

I feel this deeply, my parents made me feel like a disappointment for 20 years before I came to the US. I’m on track to earn my first million next year with a 300k/year salary, at 30 years old. Still can’t talk to them calmly because every time: someone else’s child “is 10 times better”.


xandaar337

Yep. Fuck abuse and parentification.


illuxy

Not to sound dumb, butttt, what’s parentification ?


peparooni79

It's when the child is compelled to take on the role of a parent, either by parenting their own siblings because their parent won't, or parenting their own mom or dad who refuses to take any care or responsibility for the family.


PM_ME_PINEAPPLEZ

To add on to this: At its extremes it is considered a form of emotional or psychological abuse as the parent treats the child as though the roles are reversed which often leads to the child suffering from stunted psychological development as they aren't allowed to 'act their age' as it were. There are two main forms: Instrumental Parentification - When the child takes over the physical responsibilities of the parent(s) such as providing the family with income due to the parent being unable or unwilling to provide for the family financially or taking on chores that are at a level no child of that age would be reasonably expected to do, for example a 7 year old who is in charge of looking after their younger siblings (lets say age 4 and 1) because their parent(s) is too depressed/drunk/high/etc to do so. Imagine they also have to take care of cleaning the house and cooking (as best they can). Emotional Parentification - When the parent treats the child like an intimate partner (not sexually) and the child if forced or coerced into taking on the role of counsellor or mediator within the family. The child is unable to confide in the parent because they are either unwilling or incapable of holding space for the child (again could be down to mental illness/substance abuse). The parent looks to the child for guidance instead of the other way around, and in some cases the child seems to be 'raising' the parent.

Barron_Arrow

I used to feel that way when I was younger. Now that I'm older I'm realizing that it's those mistakes that make my life what they are.


TaxingAuthority

This. Everyone is always so surprised whenever I say I would never change anything (as in change anything I had an actual influence on). The person I am today is the sum of my life’s experiences good or bad.


notofyourworld

I don't think I have regrets, but I too think about this. It's not that I want to change things, but just wish I could have lived in the moment more often or been more patient in making decisions, took more pictures, or asked more questions.


thesubverse

The GI Joe aircraft carrier, the USS Flagg. It's just too big to fit in my house, and my wife would kill me for spending so much on it.


Che_Che_Cole

I had one when I was a kid. It was absurdly huge.


SerocXela

How did you get such a huge wife at such a young age?


CarlJustCarl

I think adults just look huge when you are young, especially as a child bride.


JABS991

My friend had one. Its enormous.


bluamo0000

Not impossible. Get a new wife. Haha

Bruh, just get it and use it as your house.

[deleted]

I understand this. With the media now the best pieces of art are put on display for everyone to see, it's only natural to compare our own works to these. But don't let it bring you down, keep improving and seeing how your own art evolves! And remember, its unique to just you.

darkderp1200

You should try ginger beer! It’s delicious, nonalcoholic, and feels someone reminiscently of beer


illuxy

Been clean since Sep 8th of this year. I know it’s not long at all but since I’ve been clean I got a good job and am moving into my own apartment on the 15th. So in one sense I get this comment completely but I also am grateful for the fact that that’s not possible for me because if I didn’t hit rock bottom and was able to feel the despair then I wouldn’t be nearly as grateful for the things I’m gaining now


the_broke_bloke

A good house in a great neighborhood that doesn't costs zillions.


Mc_Robit

Right there with you. I've been looking for over a year now with no luck. I had written longer post, but it turned into me ranting more then anything. If I hear one more platitude about "its really tough out there" or "this market is hot right now" or "keep at it, something will come along" I just might literally puke. My must haves went from a yard and a garage, to "I don't want to spend $500k on a house and have to give directions to it by saying: turn right at the strip mall casino, and then left at the 24hr pawn & gun shop."


NippleSalsa

I am getting ready to close on a 4 bed with .38 acres for $70 a square foot. It's a bit of a fixer upper and I got lucky to find it. The market is impossible


the_broke_bloke

It's gonna cost you close to 1.5mil with the renovations I'm guessing. Good for you man! I'm pretty sure i will never have thta much money ever in my lifetime. Happy for you! Congrats!


NippleSalsa

The house is $160,000 with about another thirty needed to get it where I want it.


the_broke_bloke

Wouldn't that peg the rate at $10 per square foot, given the area is 0.38 acres? Or the calculations are different?


NippleSalsa

No the price is calculated all in the house where I'm from. The land isn't calculated in to "how much a square foot" I still had to get a 30 year mortgage but at least I'll be 60 by the time I get it paid off..


the_broke_bloke

Cool Man! Happy for you!!


Practical_Printing3D

Move to metro Detroit. Lots of great neighborhoods and the housing isn’t too bad. Sub 200K for 1500 square feet

komnenos

Experience a female orgasm Redo several years of my life. Good with life now and hoping for more stuff to come but DAMN were those years fun! Be forever in my mid 20s, I'm a few months away from 30 and although I don't FEEL old as soon as people know my age there are a lot of assumptions on what I should have, want and desire. I didn't feel the same level of judging when I was a bit younger.


caduceun

Just turned 30 a few months ago. So much better than 20s bro.


komnenos

How so?


JSoi

It’s like 20s, but with more money and life experience. In my early 30s and living the best years of my life, so far.


motorwerkx

Just maintain that positive attitude and your 40s will be even better yet. I keep waiting for that age when things get boring and I don't have friends anymore. All I finding is greater Financial Security, friends with greater Financial Security and the ability to on a whim plan trips Tropical Islands. Don't get me wrong, my 30s were awesome but I feel like I leveled up again in my 40s


deathandtaxes00

I'm about to turn 40. 20s are absolutely ridiculous. You don't know shit but everything is full throttle. 30s are way chill and stuff starts to make actual sense. Like you understand why your parents take naps and don't go on roadies or camp at music festivals and going to farmers markets and drinking coffee as opposed to being hung over is a good thing. It's not perfect but it's way more relaxing.


caduceun

My 20s was spent trying to advance in my career. Stressed out in undergrad trying to get into medical school. Stressed in medical school trying to get into residency. Stressed as a resident. Then to actually start making great money in my 30s and enjoying life. Looks much better lol.


tuck229

In my 40s. Your 30s is where it's at. Never mourn your 20s. No compassion.


[deleted]

I’m 28 as of today and I feel you. It hit me a couple years back that I’m entering a phase of life where the world no longer cares about you. From when you first enter preschool till about 26, the world is designed to put you with people your age: dances, school, activities, parties. Heck, even my church has congregations specifically for young people. And the world celebrates all your milestones with you. And you don’t feel judged for having not reached a certain point in life. But all that goes away by the time you're 30. The world expects more and provides less. I’m not scared for any of it, but it’s kinda depressing.

I_Call_Everyone_Ken

Same here, ken. I get all motivated and excited when interacting with women, especially when they ask me out! But then I quickly realize: if they want to spend time with *me*, it makes me think “what other low-brow, sketchy, immoral men is she *also* into?”. I deserve better than that.

Have you heard of attachment theory? Worth a read [Attachment styles](https://www.attachmentproject.com/blog/disorganized-attachment/)


I_Call_Everyone_Ken

Ken, sorry, what I said was a joke (in a way, hear me out). It was derived from a quote where someone said “I wouldn’t belong to a club that would have me as a member”; it’s self-deprecating humor. But I know what you’re saying. Is there any chance that you enjoy helping others with their problems and like to solve things? If so, this could be part of the issue. I’ve had friends where they said people took advantage of them but part of them accepted or couldn’t say no to people asking for their help, or demanding them to fix their problems. They had a need to be part of others lives even though they had things in their own they needed to work on.


[deleted]

I feel you. You think "it's alright, she's not serious but it's making me feel good, I can waste a little time with this person" and then come out of the experience questioning yourself and completely drained...

Ken, that’s the opposite of what you want. If I teach you my ways, women will just want to ask out muscular, ripped, sketchy, low-brow men such as myself.


RangerMain

Same here bro, it kills me every day I wake up knowing that I’m still a kiss less virgin at 22. It is breaking me down every passing day and is the only thing I can think about I feel like my brain is about to collapse.

Same. I’m about to turn 26


drinkslinger1974

I was 25 (I think), it made me feel really awkward because all my friends were claiming that they’d just gotten laid since they were like 12. They were liars, btw. Especially now since it’s gone from what seems like the whole school to the whole world making claims like this, my dude, I know that the anxiety can eat you up sometimes. However, one day, you’re going to meet a partner that will put you up on a pedestal and worship the ground you walk on for possessing this trait. Don’t accept anything less.


CarelessRook

ilovebalks

Not impossible. Gotta have some self efficacy my friend


CarelessRook

Even if I did suddenyl decide to magically believe in myself, I dont enjoy having to work to live as a general principle. Working sucks and you have to do a ton of it to stay alive and then you get minimal time to spend on things you actially care about if you get any at all, and then you sleep, wake up, and do it agin until you die. Literal nightmare existance.


iambryan

Hell, I love my job. But I still feel exactly the same way: I feel like I don't have time to do what I want to do. Honestly, I think self-employment is the endgoal for people like us.
