5 things emotionally neglected children carry into adulthood
1. Difficulty believing anyone genuinely cares about you
2. Feeling like a burden when you express needs
3. Chronic self-reliance that refuses help even when drowning
4. A deep sense of emptiness you cannot explain
5. Performing happiness because you were never taught how to actually feel it
Emotional neglect does not leave bruises. It leaves gaps. And those gaps shape every relationship you build until you learn to fill them yourself.

hmm this one hits way too close to home. #3 and #5 especially... i didnt even realize i was doing the performing happiness thing until my therapist pointed it out. like i thought everyone just pretended to be fine all the time? still working on unlearning that one. thanks for sharing this, its nice to know im not alone in feeling this way 8 days ago
