Well said. Very relatable. I’m the eldest child of 3 siblings. My parents are old school immigrants. Chaotic and toxic household. Typical story-they were always busy working hard and being PROVIDERS that they didn’t really have time to actually be PARENTS. Lots of emotional neglect, having to figure things out on my own, ZERO guidance for things like college, adulthood etc. Their parenting method was basically: here, we provided stuff, now go and figure the rest out. Like you, I also became aware of my negative upbringing around my late teens. I’m 30 now and still picking up the broken pieces of my life. Feel totally alone in this life. I’m so sorry you’ve experienced a similar lack of familial attention/love/validation/comfort etc. I hope you can forge a meaningful path for yourself. God bless 🙏
hey, i really enjoy this video. it's hard to give advice over the internet, but i've found that joining "non work groups" of some kind has often pushed me and pulled me in new directions. for example, a theatre group, or a book club,
