Child trauma does this to you. I live with this.
This is part of people pleasing/fawning, which is a trauma response designed to avoid conflict by placing others needs above your own (and avoid the chance to be rejected by others by not interacting with others).
My red flag is that if you don't talk to me, I won't talk to you either. But not because I don't want to talk to you, but because I think if you don't want to talk to me, I should give you space so I don't bother you
Why do most parents seem to be like this—bringing their children into a life to which they never consented, forcing them through adverse conditions, neglecting them so much so as to cause trauma and long-term dysfunction, and then blame them for not living up to their standards?
