6 Signs You're Not Crazy, It's Your Upbringing

Have you ever thought you were going crazy? Do you struggle with expressing your emotions, or properly trusting others? Does it feel like everyone else has it figured out but you? It can be easy to blame yourself for your shortcomings, but how you were raised also plays a role in who you grow up to be and how you handle your emotions. Your experiences throughout your personal upbringing have far-reaching effects on your life. By taking an honest look at how your parents treated you, your sibling relationships, and your family dynamics as a whole, you can spot the signs of toxicity that were present but you were unaware of at the time. If you relate to any of these six signs, you’re not crazy, it’s your upbringing.

Imagine having parents who love you unconditionally. It seems like a dream.

[ghostlyme]

I will never completely understand why it's so hard for some parents to say "I'm sorry"

[_.ana._.]

"All children deserve parents, but not all parents deserve children"

[krabbypatty]

" You're not broken, crazy or unworthy of love." Those words hit hard

[virgobunch]

Yet some parents still wonder why their kids leave home and never talk or call them ever again🤷

Everyone agrees that her voice suits best for these super cute animations

"You're not crazy. It's your upbringing."


*Everyone related.*

This sentence, "Chronic people pleasing" hit me like a slap in the face

[princessdamilola]

“Have you ever thought you were crazy?”



All the time!

[cantthinkofthename]

This video should be watched by parents, not children

[reedsylvier]

All parents should know this before raising a child

[tntkff]

Me:... Maybe this is why I'm like this?

My parents: "There you go, blaming EVERYONE but yourself for your problems!"

[s]

These are the exact chains I tried to break raising my children, because it's exactly what I went through. I am still suffering from the side effects from this years and years later.

“Have you ever thought you were crazy?”



Yes, yes I did.

"Demanding respect is not something your mom or dad should hold over your head" Well, demanding respect is my parents favourite hobby so that phrase definitely shocked me I thought it was supposed to work that way

[astilp_lbs]

"Never abused?" well, if you can relate to at least one of these signs, you have been abused
Emotional abuse is way harder to detect then physical abuse, especially when it happened in childhood.
There are so many diffrent types of emotional abuse and when I got deeper into that theme I was more and more like "wow, this isn't normal?"

[Alyssa_aria]

whenever they say "you're not crazy, it's not your fault"
I feel like I wanna tear up a lil' 🥺

[maitreyamanasvin]

"did your parents compare you to others?"
