I understand the desire to blame your parents.

Myself, my parents seemed largely uninterested in me during my youth, leaving me with my grandmother.

But then again, it was MY decision to be a recluse. It was I who, instead of going out to play with the other kids decided to stay home and watch cartoon and play games.

Yeah, my parents did fuck up. But in the end, I think it's mainly my fault I turned out to be a shitstain on this earth.

Not saying your parents are blameless, but neither are you.
>>
Did she put a roof over your head? Did she keep you from starving to death? Did she refrain from beating you and screaming at you constantly?

Then shut the fuck up. You only have yourself to blame. You should listen to Adam Carolla about this topic- his mother was a depression-case who barely interacted with him and his father was just as ineffectual as a parent. He says he has no good memories of family times and he doesn't even know where his parents are living, but he's successful and doesn't blame his parents for anything. That's the key, you're holding onto blame when you should be trying to move past it.
>>
>>28557314

I sort of agree. I believe the blame can allocated on both sides. Does not matter now. You're socially and emotionally retarded, start playing clean-up I guess. Try reaching out to your fellow autists and frogposters, it isn't too late to get friendly.

>>28557369

12 YEARS. And you are going to tell me you couldn't make a single friend? well that's your fault.
>>
>>28557300
You'll regret it later after you move out. You'll get out through your head at some point that if you had thought of things to say to her and put effort into being interesting she would have payed more attention. Then you'll look back on those memories not with cringe but with sorrow, you'll realize that when she's on your death bed you'll remember again but it'll be ten times worse.

Not being antagonistic, I'm just posting my own experience

Yes children need attention from their parents. Go ahead act uninterested in your children and see how much they like you when they're grown up.
>>
>>28557300
I kind of have the opposite with my parents. We get along okay but our relationship is very robotic and awkward. Occasionally my mum will complain about 'how you never came downstairs to talk to us' or 'never want to do anything with us'. But then I remind her that she never approached me either and that if she wanted to spend time with me then she should have initiated it. In any case; talking about it just stirs up bad emotions in the both of us and it's best to just let the matter lie and try to develop an adult relationship with your parents instead, as you'll never get the one you wanted as a child.

My house was a lonely dormitory/cafeteria. I went home and everybody fucked off to their own corner of the house and did whatever. Is it my fault too? As a kid I should have initiated everything? I guess so. My parents think I'm some sort of sociopath, they've said so before. Maybe they're right and there's really nothing they could've done. Or maybe they're just trying to avoid responsibility. I'll never know for sure. Time to move on.

I thought about doing something similar with my family OP but I realized it would be regressive. Looking backwards instead of forwards.

Maybe my parents fucked my shit up and maybe they didn't. Ultimately I'm responsible for moving forward with my life. A big part of that is keeping my relationships steady. It's not healthy to bemoan the past when thinking about the present. If your life is shit you should be thinking about how to fix it, not what caused it.

I don't think you really did much more than strain your relationship with your mother in the present. Maybe it felt cathartic in the moment but I doubt it will have been worth it in the long run.

Personally I'm working on forgiveness.

Since when does it have to be a parents or your own fault? I was a normalfag pretty much up to middle school but as I got older my friends and I just grew into different people. A lot of them didnt, so I inevitably became less popular with them.

Then my parents moved before high school starts, and from there on I never had friends. I just couldn't meet anyone who shared some hobbies or shared my sense of humor, and I became an outcast. That made me grow socially anxious, and now years later im still dealing with it.

I eventually reached out to a counselor about it who completely didnt understand. Then I went on to another counselor who tried to introduced me to "people i had things in common with" and it was literally a bunch of massive, fat, smelly neckbeards wearing naruto shirts and shit.

Unless theres some undiagnosed autism playing a role in it, it was just something I grew into for me. Normalfags make me feel alienated and I never feel like theres a click or potential with anyone. My father is the same way too, and actually tried to raise me into being more social and competent than he is, and look where we are.

Not OP but I tried to make something out of myself and the friends networks and career path I had was ruined by my neutotic mother over a text message. You guys imply no effort was made but I truly tried to be normal and fought depression all these years but at this point I just gave up because it took me my entire primary school experience.
I can't get those years back.

She lives her life partying and hanging out, on social media and relationships so I tell her I have none of these things and she pities me and leaves me alone now
I have a job though.
>>
I didn't really need that much attention from my parents, I wish they would have pushed me more in school or moved out of the ghetto and put me in a nicer school. Now I'm 23 and I can barely do basic math, that is 100% their fault.
>>
>>28557300
Honestly man I know where you're coming from. My upbringing stunted my development in more ways than one. I think my mother tried, she just didn't know how to do it right. You can't really blame her because her parents didn't know how to do it right either. It's very much cyclical.

I will say that my mother made stupid decisions that she should have known better not to make. There's not much you can do about it though. I could tell her about these things but at this point she's an emotional wreck anyway. If I told her what I really thought it would only make things worse.

The truth is that I'm doing well for myself despite these obstacles that she inadvertently placed in front of me. I still struggle, and it's not going to be easy but what else can I do?

She doesn't make my decisions for me anymore. She doesn't pay my bills anymore. I have to do it myself. I had a tough childhood. I haven't seen my dad in over 10 years because he was a drug addict and my stepfather was abusive, emotionally and physically.

It's very easy for me to put the blame on my mother and she probably deserves it, but it just doesn't do any good making her feel bad about things that have already happened.

It took me a long time to come to peace with this and I still struggle with it. I hope you can too anon.

My mother was cold and hated me. However, my dad had a WAY harder childhood than me. His dad was an absent alcoholic who only came home to beat the fuck out of his kids. They lived in absolute filth and despair. All of the children turned to crime just to survive since their father refused to spend money on them. If they asked for some they'd get targeted. His mother was a schizophrenic who just blindly followed her husband and carried out his wishes out of fear. Sexual abuse among the children was rampant, my father being the youngest meant he received the worst out of any of them. All of the children raped and beat my father as well out of fear of being the 'chosen one' from their evil parents. My dad was the chosen one almost always. Most of the children from that home are in prison now, committed suicide or are homeless drug addicts. Some of them have incestual down syndrome children together because of rape. Once CPS sent them to foster homes they were just as bad. Slave labor and physical abuse. Nobody gave a fuck. Then he joined the marines to kill himself and endured traumatic shit. Now he is a paranoid schizophrenic that stashes weapons hidden in every nook and cranny of the house. I'm the only person he trusts. His entire body got destroyed while at his job after an incident in which he nearly died. He lost body parts. Some of his friends died that day before his eyes. Now he's disabled and screams when he wakes up from the pain. My mother abandoned us. We are broken people who live in filth.

Me? I'm just an agoraphobic NEET. I wasn't abused. I was sheltered. My mom hated me and my dad because he protected me and let me do what I wanted. He wanted me to be happy. He didn't want to turn out like his father. If I were to blame him, I would be deserving of death. I failed him. I failed everybody. I wish I could turn back time and change it. I wish I could travel to his childhood and save him. I would adopt him and be a good father.

My mom did this too, OP. These people refuse to entertain the concept that they could be wrong about something, and will do everything in their power to absolve themselves of guilt. If I were my mom and I had raised a messed-up kid like me, I'd be crying myself to sleep every night agonizing over all the terrible life decisions I made to lead up to this point (getting knocked up by a deadbeat drunk Chad who then left me, not getting my obviously mentally-ill son any psychiatric help, not even noticing anything was wrong with him when he had no friends and was scared to go outside, ruining his self-esteem with constant nagging criticism, not teaching him to stand up for himself, and so on).

You literally can't argue with them. They can't comprehend the fact that they fucked up. Guess what? There's more to raising a kid than just feeding it and giving it a place to live, and there's million ways to ruin a kid without ever once hitting or abusing it. But, of course, they'll never admit this and just keep insisting it's all your fault.

I never have a problem admitting when I'm wrong. In this case, I don't think I am. It's a parent's responsibility to raise their child.

You have realized this, yes? You aren't a big boy. You're still a baby. 22 is baby. Live a little longer before trying to give out advice.

All of a person's important mental development by the age of 14. You can determine exactly who will and will not end up like the NEETs here by interviewing a person that age. Fate is fate. Learn to live with it.

Honestly I can't blame they were good parents. Me and my 2 sisters developped the same self-esteem / confidence / inadequacy issues during teenage years so I guess something wrong happened but they did ok.
>>
>>28558557

What other factors besides a person's upbringing affect their upbringing?
>>
>>28558275

The way you're talking makes it obvious you were either abused or you abuse your own children. Nobody else believes parents aren't at fault for raising useless children. You have 18 years to shape a child into a productive member of society. If you fail that task you are a loser beyond comparison.

Also, please don't abuse your children.
>>
>>28558557
Your mind doesn't just reset at the age of 22, retard. The mistakes your parents made will be with you for your entire life, and it's not exactly easy to succeed and completely turn things around if you're fucking stunted and emotionally-crippled.

If you ignore it so as to better yourself, that's good. Pragmatism is a very useful philosophy. If acting to reveal one truth will make you and everyone else worse off, don't act on it. Yelling at your parents until they cry will just a me everyone worse off.

You're shit, OP. Yeah my parents didn't do the greatest job by restricting my life, constantly fighting/partying, and letting the rest of my family mock me for every little quirk I had/have but I would never say these things. Guilt tripping them into thinking it's their fault you're a broken person is just fucked up. Even if it is, you don't say it. 1) nobody is going to take your side and 2) it just makes you look like a petty, ungrateful bitch who dumps their emotions and baggage unto other people.

This thread is /r9k/ clashing with reality. They are not compatible:

/r9k/ is for people who start with the premise 'I am broken' to have some feeling of solidarity with other people who feel likewise, but who really are not willing to change.

reality moves forward despite your past or how many greentext stories you can remember or invent, and it forces you to make decisions that determine your fortune.

>depression, anxiety, paranoia, avoidant personality
>lost all friends/capability to make friends in college

After a lot of self reflection I've realized that even though I had a good relationship with parents, brother, and extended family we were very dysfunctional underneath it all. We were all just putting on this facade. Sometimes it would break and fights would ensue and schisms would be formed, but I always just figured that's what happened in normal families.

Do I blame my parents? Sort of, for being fake and artifical. Do I blame myself? Yeah, because I wasn't able to keep the facade going. I couldn't put on the "normal" front which everyone else in my family could.

Now I waste my days in here and anime. Slowly rotting in my own depression and self-pity. I don't want to change, and I'll never confront my parents about it either. I'll just let the facade continue

My family has always done this. One by one we all come home, maybe make some small talk if something interesting happened and just go into our rooms and thats that. Other than Thanksgiving, I don't think we've ever sat down as a family for dinner.

Hell, the only time we seem to all talk to each other is if it's someone's birthday. It's kind of weird living with family who seem like strangers.

Im the same. Im also 24 and absolutelly useless in anything because noone ever taught me anything useful. I remember I wanted to learn all the time but was always rejected by either "I dont have time now" "They will teach you in school" or "Its too dangerous and you are not manually great". I learnt nothing from my parents. I gave up sometime in school days and never recovered spending all my free time in fantasy either playing video games or reading or whatever. My family also dont have any friends and show no affection and never spend time together and then they are surprised why I dont have friends or gf if I had such role models. They never made me autonomous or confident but anxious and too self conscious self defeatist and depressed.

If I had better parenting Im sure I would have higher IQ and better social skills. Maybe I wouldnt be depressed. Who knows.

Some people have ingrown propensity to "lacking initiative" which happens kind of at random and is no one's fault. It doesn't mean they are bound to become bots, it just means that they and people who surround them must work harder to compensate for it. When they fail to do so, bad things happen that affect you in a major bad way. The adults are responsible for making everything in their powers to help you do this, like driving you to the kid's party. Some shitty parents chose to shirk this responsibility and when shit happens they just rationalize it away ("not our fault, he/she has been always like that") instead of acting like responsible adults that they are supposed to be.

senpai i don't even want to start about how BTFO i was as a kid. but like i said, sports are a good thing for that and a lot of people i knew with strict parents eventually either won their right to go out or did it anyway regardless of consequences. i would be much more empathetic if parents didn't give a fuck about you at all and you were tricked by some internet goons/fear mongerers into a life of self destruction and addiction. strict implies discipline and proper development at least in some aspects. straight up abusive causes any kid with a brain to just spend less time at home, and at adulthood it would be total happiness to get out of that house altogether.

i'm p. sure you've met more than a few people who disagreed with their parents tbo, and i was okay with getting slapped around or scolded if i got to hang out. at any rate if you can't find the healthy alternative where you can meet somewhere in the middle on such a fundamentally important thing for a child as social experience, then your parents are too dumb to respect anyway. you would get an even better life than most of us if your parents start doing really illegal shit as punishment.

>>28564376
but it is your fault for being lazy and dumb, it's just also your parents fault for not punishing you for it. let's be honest about how aware children are even before puberty about their actions relative to the people around them. if you weren't aware then, then you wouldn't be complaining now either. the worst case scenario is some shitty influence guided you to be an asshole but nobody in the world who had this happen believes their parents are responsible or that it's hopeless to start over.

The choice was still mine to do, retards. I loathed my parents at first and I could not have cared for their shit, my only punishments was getting yelled at and a few spanking and that wasn't enough to change my mind. I did what I wanted. When I grew up I understood what my parents meant and made the choice to better myself, be lazy when I want to be lazy in a smart adult way and not be dumb. It was all my own conscious realization. You have been adults for years now but you're still whining waiting to be told what to do like a bunch of defective small children. Not even when I was a small child I waited around for instructions on how to live my life, and my parents always appreciated that.

i am 100% confident you were told the consequences of being lazy, and saw that sociable people were doing better emotionally than losers. i can get the helpless feeling you agonize over but the actions were your own, and at what point you realize that you have your own life decides when it starts getting better. parents don't actively sabotage you and you would see that shit from a mile away if you had any potential.

Bullshit you did have their influence you just choose to wallow in your self-pity and create a fetid swamp around you. You think I never took the initiative to talk with my parents? You think I just waited around passively like an idiot? You're a bunch of passive spineless faggots waiting around for people to tell how to live your life when the normies you hate so much never did nor do any of that shit, they reach out and take initiative themselves. The fact you're still like this in your adult years is entirely your choice and therefore your fault.

You can't say that when you were raised properly. Are you incapable of shifting your perspective? While most of the things you say aren't wrong, they're not wrong because your parents went the extra mile with you. You're giving yourself way too much credit when you're just a product of that parenting and environment they put you in.

If anything that just proves passive kids deserve a wake-up call via a good scare. Your parents aren't your slaves. It's up to YOU to pull your shit together, even my fucking classmates in high school had already understood this. You have no excuses.

nothing is your fault.

everything is your responsibility.

you've been dealt a hand, you choose how to play it.

don't know why you're telling us about how you can't do anything. do you want pity? do you want someone else to offer you absolution for failure? neither will do anything for you.

you may or may not have had an unreasonably bad start in life. you may or may not be fucked beyond your power to fix it. you may or may not bear any responsibility for your future. you may or may not get lucky or get help or get better in the future.

whatever you're going to do, just do it. if you're going to give up, give up. if you're going to try and make a go for something better in yourself, do it.

what are you even here for. consolation? forgiveness? justification? what good will any of that really do you?

Do you seriously fucking expect a young child to improve himself without any positive reinforcement and interaction with his family?
That is what parenting is all about.
>child is passive
Encourage him to be outgoing
>Child is unsure of himself
positively reinforce

Im glad I wouldn't have you shits as parents. You seem exactly like the type of OP and fellow robots complain about.
its ironic that if you were a parent you'd never accept responsibility if you fucked up raising a child.

No i'm not.
Actually i think yelling at your kid is probably better than just being passive aggressive all the time like my mom was, but i also think that i could have had much worse parents.

But thanks for more baseless assumptions.

You stop being a young child at 9.
From 9 to 18 you have a shitton of time and possibilities to improve yourself on your own. By the time I was 16 I was pretty much independent from my parents save for money, I cooked my own lunch, pursued my own interests, my conversations with my parents were pretty adult in tone and content.

>Encourage him to be outgoing
Yeah and? Force him when he doesn't want to?
Because that will not backfire at all. Some people enjoy being alone because they're fine with themselves and want to be around only quality people, not just any worthless retard.

>Child is unsure of himself
>positively reinforce
After the umpteenth time you've been positively reinforced you just become an annoying waste of time. The change cannot be imposed it can only come from you, so grow a thick skin already, retard.

>>28564999

Yeah ultimately they do. Everything is your choice in the end. When you choose to be a fuck-up, your parents aren't at fault from it.

You don't even sound like you want kids. You're not patient, loving, understanding, or a decent human being by any stretch. Your future children are doomed. I hope they learn not to be so shitty from you as an example. At least your "parenting" will help someone then.

>he thinks being "patient, loving, understanding or a decent human being" means putting up with your son's shit and treating him like both a literal retard and an oversensitive 4-year-old at all times, instead of treating people their age and pushing them to independence and their own life responsibilities since middle school
This is why you're failures.

The result is me having major depression disorder since I was 12, being mildly autistic (diagnosed) and having schizoid personality disorder. My sister is a depressed schizophrenic.

I don't blame my parents for all my fuckups, they had shitty parents of their own as an example. My early childhood didn't do me any favors though.

It's true actually, you should watch Stefan Molyneux's video "The brain bomb" look it up and see how even small forms of abuse, even simple neglect can fuck your brain dopamine system and make you an anti-social sociopath.

My father is a narcissist.

When I was 8, he came home from work and hit me in the face for eating his sandwich. I didn't eat his sandwich. It was a complicated, adult sandwich with pastrami and peppers and sauces. Kids like grilled cheese.

This doesn't make him a narcissist, it makes him abusive.

When my mother told him that she in fact took the sandwich, my father did not apologize to me. Instead, he yelled at my mother about how he may as well have hit me anyway because I was "always doing things like that."

If you beat your children for no reason, then find out you were mistaken and still insist taht you were right, you're a narcissist. It's a condition characterized by the lack of ability to see things anyone else's way. You have to be right at all times and everything you do is justified.

Fuck dude. I remember playing outside with my lil bro once and a car DROVE BY (didn't do anything at all except quickly pass our lawn) and he ran back inside in absolute terror.

I love how triggered this thread is making the normies. I'm the OP, and I just scored my dream job and I pay for literally everything. I paid my own way through school. I'm more independent than pretty much everyone I know my own age and probably further along in my life goals than most normies posting in this thread.

Confronting my parents with their wrongs isn't about having an excuse not to change myself. I have changed myself. That doesn't mean I feel what they did should just get swept under the rug. Honestly I wanted them to acknowledge they messed up, make it easier to have an adult relationship without the elephant in the rooom and all of these unresolved feelings. But they just couldn't do it.
>>
>>28564620
How can you possibly be this stupid??? A kid only becomes a "spineless faggot" through his upbringing. A kid only learns to take initiative through his upbringing. You really think it's some inherent trait? Or that deeply subconscious character traits are chosen by kids? You're a fucking idiot man.
>>
All millenials, no matter what their circumstances, hate their parents for being "neglectful"

It's just how this generation is.

I mean, you didn't see this sort of thing sixty years ago, even though, back then, things like hitting your kids, being uninvolved, not financially supporting them enough, or other things that would constitute "extreme abuse" in modern times was the norm.

If you look on social media and all that, you will find that even the most turbo-ultra normies who had everything given to them in their lives and had all the oppurtunities offered to them they could possibly imagine still hate their parent for the "extreme neglect" they received because they missed one piano recital or some other stupid example like that.

I'm not sure what's wrong with this generation. But that's how it goes.
