This isn’t a contest. OP asked what was the worst, and this is it for me. It’s damaging enough for me, and it’s very hard to give concrete examples because it was damage over time. Personality also plays a role; it’s possible that other kids in my shoes wouldn’t have felt this as something too damaging, everyone is different.
Both my parents have been very supportive and nurturing in almost every other aspect but those I mentioned. I know there are some horrific stories out there, I hope yours isn’t one of them.
Thanks for the reply! I’ll look those up. Also appreciate the vulnerability tip. I remember in the cover letter I did for my breakthrough job I added something which at the moment I considered to be a bit stupid, but it did show vulnerability. Perhaps it wasn’t as dumb as I thought.
Thank you!
