Are you proud of your children, anons?

>> No.2214170

I'm in college now and my parents are happy with how I'm doing. A couple of years ago though, when I was a drop out, my parents had a talk with me. They were insisting I was depressed and that they were saying they were going to make me "see someone". I told them I wasn't depressed and didn't need "help" but they didn't listen. They kept insisting on it and after one hour of bullying I broke down in tears. After that they felt really guilty, and my dad tried to comfort me. That was pretty much the end of it. I'll never forget that though, it's scary to have your parents completely misunderstand you and think you're mentally ill.

Must be horrible having a son like me. Hence the reason I'm not having children. They always fail your expectation and blame their misfortunes on you.

>> No.2214173

yes.

>> No.2214189

At least somewhat, I managed to get a good job and moved out.

Of course, when they ask me 'Do you socialize with people at work?' or 'Do you go anywhere other than the grocery store and work?' and I answer "No" I wonder if they think something is wrong with me.

I'm doing well in college and have plans for the future so I think they're somewhat proud of me. They're only vaguely aware of my lack of any social life, otherwise they would probably be more worried about me.

This country only has tamed humanoids with good rote memory and engineering skills. 10% are successful foreign demand firms, the rest are obsolete educators, greedy civil servants/politicians leeching on political interests, and downhill internal demand firms.

This is me a few months from now.

My parents drag me out to a restaurant every Saturday. Once recently I decided I didn't want to go so I told them to go ahead without me, and my dad got a little weird and kept telling me we could go wherever I wanted.

Shortly after I overheard this exchange:
"I hate to see him just sitting in his room."
"What do you think he's going to do when he gets an apartment? He's going to sit in his room all weekend."

Apparently asking a waitress to bring me food counts as socializing?

My parents are proud of me, yes. After showing a lot of promise not only in the science and math department, but also the visual arts, my parents tried to stimulate me in every possible way.

My mom constantly bugs me and i answer with one word answers. My dad says hello in the morning and i wave but don't look at him. I spend my weekends in my room on /jp/ hanging out with my touhou friends.

I work as a radio frequency engineer so during the week I'm on the atlantic coast (I go home to northeast ohio on weekends) living off company money and hotels driving around looking for places where cellphones drop their calls for ATandT. The most I ever talk to anyone is if I order food or when I check into my hotel.

My childhood friend moved to colorado and my college friends are in pittsburgh, which is where I really want to move to, but I have a phobia of spending my own money so I dont want to pay rent when I can live at home for free.

I get so lonely and want to meet someone but I know the only way I could find someone I would connect with is if I quit my current wellpaying job and go work at like walmart or something and hope theres a cute geeky girl that works there I could get to know. That or go back to college, which would be spending money.

My parents havn't talked to me about depression or anything like that. My mom is supportive it seems but my dad just sits around and drinks. My mom works as a lunchlady at my old highschool and I kinda wish she would set me up with one of her coworker's daughters or something.

;_;

I like to think so. I'm at medical school and doing okay. I'm gonna be the first doctor in the family and the first person in my immediate family to go to university.

I've had to try and reinvent myself a couple of times though, to shed massive amounts of emotional baggage. Some of it was self inflicted, some of it was brought upon me. I'm hanging in there.

>> No.2214685

My interests and abilities belong to science, math and visual arts. They tried to increase my interest on physics so I would become a physician, but in the end I end up choosing a career in animation and arts. My dad is a bit bitter about this, while my mother says that whatever makes me happy is fine, but she's unsure about my future. Still not a NEET, trying to avoid becoming one.

I'm an academic (doing my PhD) and so my mum thinks I'm pretty awesome and excuses my complete lack of a social life.

Like another anon said, in comparison to my brother and sister, yeah.
My Brother decided to live in Germany, while my family lives in the U.S.. My brother now works random jobs(currently cleans hotel rooms), and my sister is 14 and is dyslexic, or mildly retarded or something. Functions somewhat normally and isn't obviously retarded, but can't read for shit. So I'm pretty much the only hope they have for a child going to college and getting a higher paying job. Right now I'm taking 2 classes and working. Had more classes before, but also had a job before that started around 5 PM so it didn't really cut into a school day. They'd probably prefer I take more classes, be more social, get a girlfriend, not buy "dolls" and all of that, but oh well.

I promise you, 100%, short of a doppelganger (of which I doubt because the only person who cracked my tripcode ended up getting himself permabanned) that I never said any such thing. Nor have I ever had any kind of a romantic relationship with a girl.

Ever.
