No need to hit that close to home and i cant really blame my father for being emotionally absent. It's kinda hard to be emotionally present or present at all form under the ground.
Mother was unstable, i suspect mostly due to undiagnosed ADHD and emotional dysregulation.
Though yeah, hyper independent is rather accurate. Overwhelming majority of the time it's just easier for me to do everything myself than to explain or hope that someone else does it and yeah asking for help is rather difficult as well.
Anxiety is there as well, though not as debilitating anymore.
Burnout is missing or it's just too vague for me to notice and consciously experience.
Yeah, same about anxiety and burnout, those are mild at worst. The hyper independence sucks though, now that I'm not actually alone. My kid is pretty codependent (maybe to the opposite extreme) and I find it like of hard to be understanding all the time. You could put me on a solo mission to Saturn and I'd be right as rain (or at least, same amount wrong with me as usual), how did I have a kid who gets nervous when nobody else is in the same room?
Fuck.
Welp
Scarily accurate.
Is that why I'm like this?
Well SORRY you didn't come with a manual!!
I exist against my will! I did not consent to this!
