Do you feel as though your parents and family members held you back as a child? Like...when they compared academic excellence to social development and chose to encourage the latter?
>"Whatever mom and dad. Now I hate everyone and my brain is all fucked up."
Tfw I ended up in comp-sci. On a side note, can I do anything to remedy my botched mental faculties? Is my whole development fucked?

I told my parents I forgave them. I told them I understood they were just doing what they thought was best for me. But to this day, every single time I remember it I get so fucking livid I want to scream and start breaking shit until my knuckles shatter and everything around me is dented, cracked, bloody, and in flames.

24, still cannot look adult men in the eyes
Cannot even have adult females in my field of vision or else I'm nervous the rest of the day they're going to tell a man and have the man yell at me
>We let you go to your grandparents whenever you wanted!
Inhibited me from lifting weights from ages 11-13
Dad consistently yelled at me never to rape a girl, he would hold my face and look into my eyes to check if i would

Questions like that arise daily, not answering or incorrect answers result in lectures about morality and spanking to help "embed the information with an intense memory"
>any interaction with Dad would be him mounting my arms and moving them, then he would tell me when to grab. He fixed engines like this with the intention of me learning the process. I was terrified of the noises the entire time and could only feel MOLESTED because of the spooning position he would keep me in

>implying moving up a grade would have positively impacted your life at all

I know a bunch of people who did it, and the only thing that happens is they graduate a year or two before everyone else. They're never even the smartest in the class, always average or below average even, who think they'll be the next Einstein by graduating at the age of 21 instead of 22 and getting Bs in physics.

I feel like they effectively held me back a year in school. That's a whole year of my youth that I'll never get back.

Honestly, why don't you anons go to therapy? It might just help you if you give it a chance.

No one is perfect. My parents are not an exception, neither are your parents. Now that I'm living on my own and really got to reflect on everything that they've done for me (good and bad), I appreciate them more.

You're ultimately responsible for your happiness. I guarantee you that someone who was dealt a shittier hand than you've been dealt has crafted their own happiness. It's never too late to socialize yourself or get better in a field that you want to go into. You just have to go against your grain for a while.

I believe in all of you, anons
