Why can't my parents simply tell me what to do in this episode #284: Breaking Free from Toxic Friendships with Violet Benson and this clip Uncovering Childhood Patterns? My mom screams at me, yelling things like "You're old enough to help without anyone telling you to." It's so sad, but both of them are emotional manipulators. I improved my emotional foundation to withstand such manipulation attacks. Why can't they just be kind and tell me what to do?
I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me. But as soon as he noticed that I wasn't going to open the door or that his emotional manipulation didn't work, he started calling me the worst things he could think of and became extremely aggressive. I think this was his true face. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else? I don't think so.
How can I maintain friendships while experiencing personal growth and change, especially if I have a tendency to leave friendships behind or struggle with finding interesting things to talk about? This question is in relation to the episode #212: Hug Your Inner Child with Violet Benson, the clip Embracing Vulnerability, and the episodes What I Learned In My 20's: Self Love, Boundaries, Comparison & Trusting My Intuition, 627. Meeting the Anger Within + Taking Off Your Mask with Hannah Eden, and 881: Finding Your Angle in Covert Love Triangle | Feedback Friday. Many relationships that were very good at one point faded when I moved on, started new things, or grew professionally. I feel responsible for this.
