So this is the guide my parents used
I know many people who handled it just fine, it must be a you problem. You probably misunderstood them most of the time. I’m sure they just wanted the best for you. A friend of mine handled it just fine and turned out a better person than most. Really, you must be overreacting to something that was probably just discipline. Surely, they wished the best for you and tried to build your character.

It’s like being a kid again 🤩
You’re just ungrateful.
Wow, that’s some exceptional train of thought stuff.
Ouch. AF.
Yeah… i started tensing up halfway through reading this.
Been out of the house for 20 years, things have never changed.
I have ADD, and my partner has GAD. I always feel bad about the pacing. 90% of the time, I’ve lost my train of thought/ something. I noticed if I say, “I’m fine; I’m just looking for something.”, it helps a lot. She describes them as “frantic footsteps”. I can understand why that would freak people out.
I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.
Have you ever tried gaslighting someone?
That shit isn’t as easy as they make it sound.
There’s no such thing as gaslighting. You’re making it up because you’re paranoid that everyone’s out to get you.
Gaslighting? I’m pretty sure the term you’re looking for is gaslamping. Don’t worry, it’s a pretty common mistake for people to make.
Oh my god! I can’t believe OP mistook gaslighting for gaslamping… I thought that that was one of those mistakes nobody does anymore.
that shit isn’t as easy as they make it sound.
Yeah it is. You must be remembering it wrong.
Nearly everyone gets gaslit if you try, what do you mean?
I get annoyed when my wife uses that term every time I disagree with her.
That’s because the real term is gas-lamping, not gas-lighting. The term was invented around the Victorian period where the primary source of lighting were gas-lamps.
What are you talking about? It’s super easy you idiot.

The secret is persistence.
Hey, it’s a list of my ex husbands favorite tips and tricks!
Did you know that “square breathing” exercises are not helpful when someone’s yelling at you to do them?
I’m sorry to hear about your bastard ex husband. The only thing that’s really helped my anxiety is drugs. I’m guessing you’ve tried that though. Square breathing never really worked for me. Hope things are better now.
Anything you say, do, or express interest in, can and will be used against you.
My father must have written that list from the pinewood box he’s in.
Sending this to my girlfriend, Nicole

Honey? … is … is that you? … I’m sorry
I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)
*How to love someone with anxiety after going insane from carrying the entire mental load while they refuse to get help.
This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.
These tips actually work for most loved ones.
My Nicole checklist.
I don’t mind pacing. Partly as I do it
