god forbid someone shows support, you have low self esteem and parental issues. don’t make it our problem when it’s clearly yours lol.

Tbh I just feel that with my parents most of the time. In my undergrad they only knew how well I was doing because I told them, it didn’t seem like they cared to ask about it or anything so when I was part of an academic paper that got published, I wrote my senior thesis and it did well, and I graduated as a “university scholar” and am now in grad school every time they said they were proud of me it felt fake/insincere because I was doing basically everything at college by myself with no help

LITERALLY!!!!!! oh my god i feel like im the only one who feels this sometimes hit its like. condescending. if a loved one or friend says they’re proud of me, that means a lot. but a stranger it’s like.. you dont know my past or my struggles or my successes. i know people mean it in a nice way but i don’t like it 😭😭

it honestly feels like a backhanded compliment to me, like why do u as a stranger feel the need to comment that at all? just compliment someone like a regular person

if anything! saying to a random person online ur proud of them gives more insecurity/ parental issues than not because why was that the first compliment u could come up with if u urself wouldn't want to hear that?

right like if anything needing strangers to tell you they’re proud of you is low self esteem and parental issues…. but ok!
