You often speak very dis-approvingly of yourself.

Do you transfer hatred of yourself , and assume others hate you? Term in psychology for this: Ex of Transference
Parental transference. This happens when you see someone else in your life as a mother or father figure and transfer your feelings about your parent onto them.
Like your parents think you are a problem, therefore you think complete strangers are like parents, and therefore
they think the same thing.

Can you see Tony, this is faulty thinking, you assume everyone thinks like your parents do. I may have suffered some of the same in high school, but luckily l moved away from my parents, then l discovered my parents were wrong. l am okay.

When someone is treated like a child, it can undermine their autonomy, making it harder for them to feel confident in their ability to make decisions and manage their own life. The effects of infantilization can be far-reaching, impacting a person’s self-esteem, independence, and overall well-being.

I don't understand many of your complicated words @Aspychata. I got 5th grade grammar and English writing. When I talk to people, I sound so childish they say Aha and walk away.

It's okay Tony, l think you have some good qualities, l wish your parents had more time to help place you in some programs that could have given you confidence in yourself.
