I needed to listen to this today. Seek advice. Not approval.

"You might still have got your parents confused with God"
So true, brother!

My mistake was relying on my mom for everything. Now when I try to have independence, she goes fully insane. It's scary when you allow your parents to control you and they begin to grow an ego.

"Being a monster is the right thing"
..I never feel so touched like this before.

[Vortexnicholas]

Be your own person . Pursue your goals as long as their realistic. Caring too much about what others think, will keep you complacent, and happiness won’t be achieved

[GugulethuNdlovu-mq]

People pleasers often start off as parent pleasers

Being a good girl made me the most depressed person.No room for mistakes was allowed .
Whenever I made a mistake i was told I have become a bad child and i have changed


To me that made me a perfectionist and my biggest reget in my life was not making mistakes

I was only loved through my achievements and how much other people praised me

That in turn made me angry
And after a long time of letting it all go, i finally realised my parents will never change and they are humans too
They make mistakes too
I should have understood that from the get go

“Sometimes it turns out being a monster is the right thing” this applies to us people who chronically feel the need to people please. Whether it’s my parents or strangers I worry about inconveniencing others and end up screwing myself all the time. Maybe I need a villain era to sort myself out 😅

I have a family therapy session with my parents today. Watching this to help prepare mentally. This is it; if they don’t acknowledge my concerns and take responsibility for their actions now then I’m done. Wish me luck

The issue with the parent child dynamic is the manipulative nature of it all since they often remind you that questioning parents is a sign of disrespect. This baseless and emotionally fueled tactic can easily be counteracted by replying that manipulating people with the parent -family argument is the real indicator of disrespect.

I once asked "am I making a mistake caring what Mom thinks?" and I never got an answer. I got the usual banter of "we love you and we want you to be happy, " which didn't answer my question. Most of the time when I ask a direct question, I get no real answer. The videos of JP here finally give me an answer of some kind and a sense of certainty.

When I was in university and wanted to live on campus my mom said, "Well, if you live on campus, then your aunts and uncles will say you're a libertine for leaving home before been married". Then when I graduated the least supportive person for me to move out of state was my mom. At this point I absolutely don't care what anyone has to say about me if I can get a better job by moving out of state. Are you paying my bills for the rest of my life? No! My brothers did whatever they wanted. Geeze. Sometimes I hate been a woman!

Needed this, my Mum verbally abuses me every day.

Realized what Jordan Petersons saying by the time I was 25/26. 27 now. The feeling/thoughts surrounding this mindset only grow.

[milkbread]

American culture fascinates me. In my culture, you are under your parents rule till the day you die because there is a hierarchy in place. My boyfriend is American and I'm shocked how he tells his mom to back off and stay out of his life. If I said that to my mom I'll be underground lmao but I do see the mental toll it takes on me and how despite being fkn 25, not 12, I'm still treated like a child and I have a hard time making decisions I WANT because I'm always doing what will make my parents happy and keep the peace. It doesn't help I'm the only girl in the family...

My mother got angry when I told her she was not God. Only God is my source of validation, no human being. I learned the hard way not to worship your parents. God must come first above parents.

[peacockLife]

yes my parents deaths were crushing, dad when i was much younger and mother recently, both times extremely shocking, My parents were always my good friends and i could talk to them about anything and everything, neither of them ever forced us to do anything, they gave sound advice and they were very loving. It is hard for people to believe that, but it is true for me.. and i thank God every day for that..

[romanobernoulli]

Poor, complex and narcissistic parents are one of the worst curses a person can have.

[why-mope]

it's not as easy to just stop caring what your parents think. It's much easier to just ignore them by not talking to them. There has to be a sacrifice. Either you spend more time with them or you distance them. You just cannot control your reactions when you interact with them

[LoluEternalCouple]

Parents motivation:

Guilt trip, gaslight, comparison, show off anger and firmness while lecturing about their past academic days, generation gap lectures and literally every kind of abuse in the name of motivation, toxicity and in the end gives you an indirect way to say "not good enough"

And the root of all the insecurities and self doubt starts to grow or what your going through, self esteem gets destroyed eventually and you always get the feeling

Why am I still not good enough?

Actually you are good enough for yourself, it's just the society which creates random insecurities literally on the younger generation
Like from family to community
with nonsense unrealistic stories to gain authority or toxic motivational lectures
It's society, the ugly one with toxic standards and formation,

Not you, your good and alright just the way you are.
All you have to do is create a wall against the society so that whatever they do, you just mind your own business without any care of what they say and live your life while creating the best version of yourself
So again
As I repeat be yourself while creating the best version of you .

Dump society's standards 👎
Live your life👍✊ and be real 🙋🏾‍♀️!

The first step is not needing them, get financially free of them, then everything else can fall into place.
