How did your parents’ overprotectiveness or strictness affect you as an adult ?
I’ve noticed that in our culture, some parents are extremely strict or overprotective sometimes more towards daughters than sons I recently saw people over 25 still struggling with fears, insecurities, or habits that started from this kind of upbringing
For both men and women: If you grew up in a very strict household how did it affect your relationships, confidence, or life decisions as an adult? And if you tried to break free from it, did you ever find yourself repeating the same patterns you wanted to escape?
Please share your age if you’re comfortable
