Who would've thought 3 years later, the perfect video for me would show up in my recommendation. It highlighted just about all my problems with my family growing up. Everyone was constantly fighting, and my brother would harshly bully me. I never had anyone to talk to or be cared by, and it made me feel so pointless.
-
I refer to my upbringing as, "I wasn't raised, I was housed and fed."
-
One of the things I’ve learned is don’t confront your family about these emotions. They’ll just undermine you and try to spin it so they’re the victim.
-
A couple years ago, I confronted my mom about my mental health issues. I was in TEARS telling her how much I was struggling and how hard it has always been to open up to her about anything in my life. Her first reaction was to laugh at me........as if I was just being dramatic and making it all up. That is when I realized I wasn't crazy and that this shit stems from childhood.
-
I used to pride myself on how independent I was, how much I didn't ask for things, how quiet I was for a kid, how I didn't bother my mom, now I realize, I was being neglected... it's not my mom's fault, they had to keep two kids alive on a low budget. I was just old enough to understand that, my brother got his attention, I didn't.
-
So there are parents who hug, comfort and have empathetic conversations with their kids...wow.
-
Childhood Emotional Neglect turned me into the anti-social, comfort zone addict, autopilot king
-
It hurts even more when you’re siblings weren’t emotionally neglected, but you were.
-
Welcome, the well-behaved, non-troublesome, good kid! Nice to see you here
-
This comment section is oddly comforting.. I feel less alone
-
I wish everyone that's suffering could all have a pizza party together and realize that we're not alone :)
-
I’ve finally found my people. I always thought emotional needs made me selfish but now as I realise the reason why I can’t even love myself or get mad at peoples opinions, I start to understand it stemmed from childhood. Reading all these comments make me feel safe and I hope that anyone who sees this and struggles with the same thing heals and is filled with abundance of happiness and joy. I love you.
-
The fact I had to search this on YouTube whilst calming down after crying says a lot
-
As a social worker, I find that emotional neglect leads us to believe that our emotional needs are just wants, luxuries, or rewards. This is not true. We do in fact need emotional support.
-
My parents often say that I was such a well behaved child. It's more like I learned that no matter what I said or did to get their attention it just didn't matter so I learned to not even try. What they saw as well behaved was depression. What they saw as being low maintenance and introversion was social withdrawal.
-
I was taught my negative emotions were unacceptable.I always feel shame when I feel angry, disappointment, sorrowful, fearful, overwhelmed, resentful or jealous. I am practicing making room for these feelings and acknowledging them and not thinking I am selfish, ungrateful, bad or annoying because I have these feelings.
-
I grew up with a single mom suffering from depression. She refused to give me hugs and would call me annoying when I talked. Her feelings were always first and I've struggled to trust people with my feelings and thoughts. I feel less lonely reading everyone else's experience 😊
-
When you realize that your parents caused your social anxiety and now berate you for having it 😀
-
It's really funny when a parent that never gave you emotional support says: ,,Haven't you ever thought about MY feelings?"
-
My half sister told me my neglect is a grudge I just need to get over so I cut her out of my life. Don't let anyone minimize your trauma by telling you neglect isn't abuse.
