What would I do if I traveled back in time? No, not buying bitcoin. It's probably eating datura seeds or other poison. or burning myself with acid. or drinking bleach. or blinding myself with that powerful laser pointer I had. maybe then my emotionless, cold stone wall of a mother could show me some affection and empathy. she for sure didn't when I broke my finger, so maybe the severity of the injure is where it's at?

the axe forgets, the tree remembers.

Fuck a girl.

lol no

mine just fucking asked for my address. watch me have to move because she does retarded shit to me. motherfucker went to a war and can't get money. uhhuh. is that a lie to steal my identity again?

don't hope for them to ever be different. they never are. all you do is transcend their habits

kicker is my grandparents were wonderful people. no clue what fucked up my mother. but my life got way better when I left and never looked back

gonna make the same mistake again. to be fair I haven't talked to her in 10 years. she's 70 now. what's she gonna do? lie to me to box me in again and enslave me? pretty impossible without informational asymmetry like when I was a child. by this rate I know more than her even in the subjects she knew a lot in... and to say nothing of emotional intelligence which even child me was better at than her

@jestdotty wtf? Why are our mothers so similar, especially the box part

@kiki it's not that

when people are afraid, anxious, worried, etc (all fear) they get controlling because control helps lessen the thoughts, experiences of fear

happens to all humans and even animals

insecurity is also a form of fear

so such universal emotions will result in the same predictable behaviours

the strategies might differ based on genetics and environmental upbringing. but the motivation, the emotional fuel, will be the same and want the same thing. to comfort their fears, so that the experience of that emotion can be easier / lighter / suckled comfortably to experience... and thusly controlling behaviour, whatever flavour that may be depending on their intelligence, prior experiences, etc

meh

my mom was never self aware much though. nor respected me. so not much I could do

fear makes people stringent, non adaptable. and it looks like they're self sabotaging. be like water, they say. you can only do that if you're relaxed. fear will make you tense on the other hand
