reposting here too because this is the realest shi i’ve ever seen

this guy's on low elo family isolation I literally lie/obscure the truth like 1 out of 5 sentences I act like such a robot I dont think they even know I swear

#relatable I don’t even lie about things that really matter a lot of the time it just has to be convenient so they ask as little questions as possible

Isn't this totally normal? You have different personas for your family than your friends. Most people wouldn't say fuck in front of their mothers, right?

Yeah but this is pretty different. It also includes hiding the things you do or like it’s not necessarily restricted to just your persona

it is essential that once you create your online persona your family members are blocked off from all angles

any family members discovering this account would be the death of me and their view of me

I have a good relationship with my family

Its both cope but also the environment they've failed to create where their son was able to grow up able to share with them about his own perspective. There was never a collective where he could congregate and be allowed to be who he always has been and so you get this.

This but also they no interest in my life so it’s not too purposeful on my part

The fact that they asked you if they could see the content vs online sleuthing or stealing your shit / passwords shows a modicum of respect imo

the result of having older parents who spent 75% of their lives under the equatorial line. grew up in a completely different environment so it’s hard to not be tapped out if you’re not a person who is family oriented.

You’re young trust me man when you get older and they get older you’ll wish you had more time. It doesn’t matter if they don’t resonate with how you think how you think changes as you grow anyways that’s how it should be. your parents but will always be your parents. And once there gone that’s it.

the fuck is wrong with you kids your parents love you they want to be involved in your life jesus christ

Seems like this fella is inventing a lot of scenarios in his head. A lot of what ifs.

As a parent, the more authentic you are the more the parent can relate to you. We hide ourselves from our parents because we saw them hide themselves Infront of theirs or others. It's a respect your elder's loop of guessing what they want to see. Happiness is authenticy.

Ever since I was a teenager I didn’t want to tell my oarents certain things. Even now in my 40s I keep things from them. i thought it was pretty normal for ypur parents to not know everything about you. This guy is a bit extreme I guess, but it’s normal to some degree

Wow I watched the whole video and read the comments and felt really sad how new generation feels about their parents. I’m not judging anybody but I thought things got better for kids and they could talk to their parents no problem. Such a decent articulate young man, hope he’s ok

my dad just thinks I stay on the game all day if I told them about this account they would ship to Nigerian

I no longer care what my family discovers about me but I'm also not going out of my way to tell them

This is just what happens when growing up they wont or cant make you feel emotionally safe. Eg If you mock your kids or dismiss their interests. Its often unintentional, a product of their own emotional constipation. Its a generational thing that is only starting to shift now.

I'm a very patriotic person, until I see videos like this Then I start thinking China probably just deserves to win at this point tbh Our young men are so insecure and so low T they're afraid to be their authentic selves around their own fucking parents

They know you very well bro, they know that there son is weird and looking at your phone too much. If you love your parents and aren’t being a creep, let them into your life or change what your embarrassed of

My dad just thinks I spent all day on the internet playing Fortnite when I’m really just busy doing my schoolwork in my free time

No one is the way you want them to be. Just be thankful god gave you someone in your life that cares about you. A lot of people dont even have parents or family. He will be old one day and miss his parents.

Spend time with them. You would be surprised what they understand.

Having children changes people. I truly mean no disrespect to you whatsoever, but have you ever sat down, time after time, and really talked to your parents about their lives as children, teens and young adults? What their courtship and wedding was like? How their lives and attitudes changed once you were born? You may find that you have a lot more in common than you realize. But you have to make the first step and create a few situations and strategies to help feed those conversations. You and your parents might even really enjoy it! Much love.

My Dad is the realest person I know & I act the same way around him as I would my friends, my Mom, completely opposite.

His parents, and the entire world, can’t tell he’s a sexually diseased culturally poisoned retard by the way he presents himself, the anime toys and posters in his room, the perverted look in his eyes. Nobody could ever work it out….

Yeah bro it’s called being a teenager LOL some grow out of it others don’t. You choose haha

My boss can name characters from fandoms his 8 yo likes and that is so strange to me as someone with parents that called everything I liked stupid. I had to make active effort to blur all my personas because I genuinely think keeping this up leads to psychosis.

These video games are ruining our kids. We have a 19 yr old grandson that’s living with us and this kid might as well be him! But in my house I’m definitely checking out all content. 👀So many like them, “thinking about employment” and all of them are gonna be a YouTube star! So frustrating. It’s like they’re stuck in puberty too. Don’t even talk about trying to grow up. They don’t see a way out before they’re 30!

This failure on the parents. They haven’t given you the space to be yourself.

It’s important to foster REAL relationships w/ the PEOPLE in your life. It takes EFFORT & maybe even risk to reveal one’s true self, but an “online” persona will never bring the fulfillment that true relationships will. One day his parents will be gone & he will regret not being real w/ them. FAMILY is where we get to safely develop into our true selves. Dont be scared - and dont miss out.

Oh man, your parents never kept a close relationship and now your in this situation where you think your parents don’t know you which I can tell you is 100% false. Your gonna regret not being closer to them (they know who you are they created you). Open up man.

Stop being a loser with your parents. Sounds like they try and you shut them down. Do yourself a favor and give your dad an honest answer next time he shows interest in your life.

He's naturally "greyrocking" his narcissist parents.

If I’m the parent and you’re not participating socially I’m going to pick your ass out of the house. I’m not giving you free rent to explore your bullshit “content” career.
