tfw the extent to which your childhood has handicapped you mentally is finally setting in and you're just now realizing all the ways in which you've essentially been lobotomized by the environment you were raised in

how does one cope with this realization?

Yeah I realized that long ago and it's hard to undo it also still working on it not even done unfucking yet nearing 40 years of age
unfucking meaning even having a normal job and income

how to cope

get money

get money

that is after/while you use your mind to break the trap of retard programming from your parents/whatever

please tell me it's worth doing and that I'm not gonna have to just kms

awareness, acceptance and then action.

These are the steps that you must go through to change your outcome.

yeah ive basically just been ignoring my problems for 10 years because what i would need to do to fix them feels so overwhelming, i couldnt even get started

After seeing threads like this nearly every single day in here I decided not to give a fuck anymore and play more video games.

boo-to-the-fucking-hoo for me

The eternal victim... stop this bullshit and man the fuck up.

Go to a psychologist, probably, tell me what's wrong with you what disorder do you have?

Have you tried growing up and getting over it?

Im tired of redditard sociopath narcissists infesting this board

All of that plus a patent that has the audacity to not just die, but die in front of me, and ask also before obtaining closure for the way they acted

A simple "no" would have been faster and easier.
Try growing up and getting over it

bro like just outgrow trauma it's that easy

trust fund kiddie spotted

I just gave up. Tried going to therapy, was promised that it could "help your mental health so much" but all it helped with was just being able to talk to somebody in private. I knew it was a moot point when my shrink started waving her hand around and told me to follow it with my eyes. I am extremely pessimistic about our current and even future understanding of mental health. I just take my klonopin and prazosin while praying things get better.

everyone i know that is successful is honestly just medicated and has been since college. thats all success is, they're all hopped up on stimulants that make you feel good and focus

If by lobotomized, you mean gaslit constantly by almost everyone in your life for years that your lifestyle of never socializing was acceptable, than yes
My only logical cope is biological determinism

No one has ever needed to inform you that you are a fat sperg loser, so it has not been worth the resources to bother so you could possibly change

Even if you are an only child, your parents have never needed to tell you relaionships and grandchildren are important, they're just going to get social security to survive

In fact, your success is a detriment, if you have a family you might have to move out, or ask them to help raise your kids

Everything else you could be to others is a burden, so telling you that you only make people uncomfortable is not even worth the 12 seconds of time to make it known

The only reasons I haven't ate a shotgun is that I was told twice that I had good trigger discipline, just being complimented on a skill was all I needed
But also I don't want to give the fags around me the 1 billionth of an advantage

I wasn't even worth gaslighting, I was just ignored by everyone, oversurveiled by my parents, and not allowed to grow mentally and emotionally, so I'm still the kid who plays on his computer to hide from the world that made sure he knew he was worthless

By accepting what happened and knowing who you are and what happened to you devising ways to mitigate the damage and play to your strengths.

Endless ruminating over the past is pointless. The past and our memories of it are only there to serve as lessons that we carry with us into the future. Everyone suffers to one extent or another. But not everyone learns from their suffering. Some people get stuck in it.

I will never have proper social skills or ability to cope with my emotion. If you have the ability to cry you don't have trauma your just an attention whore.

No, someone who had a really, really tough childhood but grew up and got over it.

and got over it

I kinda don't believe you 2bh. I think you're actually incredibly maladjusted and you just kinda got used to it. which is worse actually

trauuma. traaaaumaaaa.

Why don't you get over it and fuck off then?
You're here bitching about what a victim you are for having to listen to other people bitch, after all.

But you've already proven you're a fucking retard, so no one cares what you think

You sound like a smart anon surrounded by terrible neurotypical cunts.

I'm sure your unreasonable tendency to lash out for no reason signifies nothing and should not be the one of the things that leads me to the conclusion that you're not quite as well-adjusted as you think you are after all lmao

how does one cope with this realization?

fent

I prefer crack but whatever works

get on the healing grind. teach yourself how to live, demand the affection you were deprived of, comfort those who's pain you uniquely understand. find self-forgivness in self-reprimand.

Don't cope, just do something. It's society's fault that you lost everything in your life, so take revenge. Become the monster, just like me. Show them what they've done, wake them up. Do whatever you want to do, put your hatred out onto the world. Start today.

Giving someone advice isn't 'being a victim' you whiny little bitch

When someone is whining like a little bitch telling them they are whining like a little bitch is doing them a favor.
But go ahead, spend 20 more years crying about mommy and daddy, let us know how that works out for you, little bitch

I hate your positivity. Weren't you all about destroying civilization two days ago? What happened r9k? Don't you see how this world must die.

Same, I crippled myself physically and mentally due to my lifestyle choices during childhood, where I was essentially left to my own devices (my mom hated me, my dad was depressed and likely despised me although he never said it out loud). I had no family, no friends, lived in total solitude outside of school. I did no sports, had no hobbies, did nothing, ate nothing, barely slept. I grew up insane and deformed.

It wasn't my childhood OP, I'm just not physically attractive.

Become a north pond hermit

I think the extent to which a person gets fucked up is variable. Personally I went through a lot and came out pretty good. To get a picture of my childhood, my mother died of breast cancer when I was five, dad remarried to some third worlder gold digger that he had a kid with, eventually became unstable home environment and they divorced (haven't seen step sibling since), then he remarried and had another kid with a woman that was physically and emotionally abusive to me. She left scars on my back, and when she was home I could only leave my room for the bathroom. Moved in with grandparents after hs, and eventually they developed dementia which was a whole different kind of stress (for a year or so it culminated in chronic insomnia where every week I'd get two to three consecutive days without sleep; permanently fixed with thyroid). What's probably contributed to my stability is an early interest in philosophy. While initially it just made me intellectualize everything, especially the problems of my life, it helped me process them to an extent and sparked a passion that became lifelong. Also in hs I experimented with psychedelics and they brought me out of depression and made me more open minded.

anon if this kind of thing makes you disproportionately angry, that's a (You) problem. you might need therapy.

The most traumatised guy in this thread is the guy that started screaming and crying at people while claiming that he "got over it" because he's so such a psychological tough guy. Seems like he was finally having a good day when he came across the thread and now wants to insist that he's over it! And he's not going back! Because he's such a tough guy, not like all the "little bitches"! Nuh uh!
