It feels like they also hate joy, pleasure, happiness. If you experience those, they want to destroy it.

I’ve felt like I was adopted all my life because I’m not like my family. I’ve always loved being different and it’s caused so many problems.

Or why do you dress like that? Why do you laugh like that? Self expression is shamed the most

That is why my parents might love me (in their own way) but they don't like me. I've always refused to conform and always tried to be my authentic self.

My mother personally if we didn’t like what she liked - as trivial as movies. I was raised to agree with her OR ELSE love withheld.

They act like it's rude to truthfully respond when they ask you a question. They want every interaction to be empty and meaningless
