I subconsciously assume that everyone who owns a 3ds automatically plays pokemon and I think at some point I accidentally started assuming that the 3ds was just an expensive pokemon machine
what… what else is there.
Well animal crossing but we all ditched that when XY came out
Feeling like you’re useless when you’re not doing something productive.
never being able to stand up for yourself, because of your inherent fear you will be severely punished - even if you are in the right
feeling you are never right, even if you are
caving easily to abusive situations, because you grew up learning how to be controlled, that it was “wrong” to exercise power, that it was “wrong” to defend yourself, and not knowing anything about self-respect or having self-esteem
second-guessing yourself nonstop
hiding your entire life from your strict family - even if it means they go to their deathbeds not knowing what has happened to you, because it will just mean you earn only their disapproval or disgust.
non-stop self-hate
non-stop paranoia
-feeling like you have to “prove” yourself
-never feeling good enough
-developing insecurities that eventually grow but stay hidden because you’ve been told that maybe asking a question a few times extra just to be sure everything’s ok is “weird”
-being afraid to make friendships, reach out, or go out because your afraid of doing something wrong
-always being afraid that someone is mad at you
-getting criticized for years on end then getting questioned on all sides as to why you’re so negative about yourself
I’m glad I’ve been outgrowing a lot of this, and moving out worked to be a good thing between me and my parents.
To all of my friends, this is the reason why I do the things I do
I don’t always relate so heavily to these kinds of things but damn if I don’t feel 99% of these
