All you need is some self confidence to overcome the problem.

Funny. That’s another one of my problems. I have NO self-confidence at all.

You make me feel intelligent and less intelligent at the same time.

I noticed that they say last names first since I watch Naruto Shippuden, but I’ve never been quite sure why. It might have to do with honor or respect.

I don’t think there’s a reason. As an Asian, it’s the way that it has always been for me.

I called people their last name than first for no reason when I first had friends.

In English?

Yup, my parents and friends had to teach me to do it the other way around (the correct way) for a month or two. No one noticed it because I would either say brother, mother, or father.

One of my problems is that I have NO self-control. But I sure do hide it when I am able to.

I will gladly bear the full weight of your lack of self-confidence just to help you become better. All you need to do is believe me when I say there is hope, and accept any compliments I give to you no matter the situation involved. You have nothing to loose by this deal, as you have already suffered all such pain.

B_S, I can say that the majority of us really do want to help you. In this case, Dev is actually partially right. We wouldn’t do anything to try to hurt you.

Also, I noticed that you brought up some info about your condition here:

Anime_Shadow, you seem to be under the impression that my depression is something I contracted recently. But no, I’ve had these problems for pretty much my whole life. Unlike most normal people, I don’t think I was taught the importance of reward and forgiveness. To me, life has always been only about punishments and how to minimize their effects. I don’t feel happy when I find a long-lost thing, or when I stroke a kitten, or when I get good marks on a test, or when I eat chocolate; the most I’ll feel is relief that I won’t be punished, and fear whether I’ll be able to avoid punishments like this again the next time. Oh, getting bullied nonstop for six and a half years didn’t exactly help. Nor did Chinese parenting.

I have some questions, but feel free not to answer them if you don’t feel comfortable about it.

How harsh were your parents? Were the ways that they punished you harsher than what would be considered moral?

What were you bullied for?

Are you still connected with your parents? If yes, have you found it in you to forgive them?

Do you think that any specific event started your condition? If yes, what?

I just found the minecraft parody part of YouTube.

XD

I’m always on the pony side of youtube (: hells my username is VinylDScratch.

Watch it.

How harsh were your parents? Were the ways that they punished you harsher than what would be considered moral?

Not too harsh. They just didn’t properly teach me some of the important human values like reward and forgiveness. For example, when I was little, they didn’t really make it clear to me that it’s okay to make mistakes. Right now, it’s still firmly engraved into my subconsciousness that I must avoid making mistakes at all costs. My mother was especially bad at this; if I did something wrong she would yell “why didn’t you do this and this blah blah”, as if I already knew everything I needed to avoid making that mistake and was just too stupid and incompetent to avoid making it. To me, mistakes aren’t opportunities to learn and improve; they’re things that I should be ashamed of and punished for. I’d rather not do something at all than do it wrongly.

My mother is a kind, loving woman most of the time, but she has anger management issues. She would scream and smash things when angry, and it scared the crap out of me. Once, she told me to lie on the floor so she could stomp on me to vent anger, just because I lost my rain coat. Of course she forgot all about that incident afterwards, but I never did. She never actually hit me or anything, but I was still traumatized forever.

What were you bullied for?

Mainly physical weakness. I don’t want to share the details.

Are you still connected with your parents?

Yes. I’m only 19, and I don’t have the confidence to live by myself.

If yes, have you found it in you to forgive them?

NEVER. I will not forgive them as long as I live. If I could, I would separate my mother into two versions of herself, one of them the kind, loving woman, and the other the psychotic bitch with anger management problems. I would keep the good half as my mother, and beat the bad half into a bloody pulp with my bare hands.

I’ve told my mother exactly how much I hate her, screamed to her as loudly as she sometimes did to me. She cried her heart out, yes, but she doesn’t have it in herself to change. I’ve spitefully said I can’t change unless she can, and I meant it.

Do you think that any specific event started your condition? If yes, what?

I’m not sure, but probably not. If yes, it has to be so long ago that I don’t consciously remember, but it’s more likely to have built up over time.

Edit: UGH! I forgot I wasn’t supposed to say anything. Deleting…

Although, I will tell you that the games you make and the way you talk, you are intelligent and your brain makes up for everything including physical weakness. I’m pretty weak myself, but I’m welcomed by the geek and nerd community.

Watch some TobyGames Minecraft parodies. They are funneh. Nothing in the whole world is better than a guy who has a perfect sense of humor, a funny voice, and plays video games.

I was laughing from all the Toby Games videos but your post is sad. Listen, your mom obviously needs more treatment than you. You seem normal compared to your mother. Try, try, try, try to get to New York and get on the Steve Wilkos show. He helps everyone. Everyone. Everyone and anyone. I love his show because he helps broken familes, druggies, Who’s-Child-Is-That, and more. He might be able to help you…

It’s to show what family you’re part of. Like in Naruto, The Uchiha Family. Then they say their first name, to specify who they are in that family.

at least, that’s what I think.

To me, mistakes aren’t opportunities to learn and improve; they’re things that I should be ashamed of and punished for.

If you know what mistakes should be, maybe you could try to alter your mindset to lean towards something more suitable. When you make a mistake, tell yourself that it doesn’t matter and it’ll be better. Don’t let a mistake hurt you if it doesn’t have to.

Mainly physical weakness. I don’t want to share the details.

Hmm, whatever problems with your physical being you have, remember that you have a great intellect like A_S said. Also remember that the problem was with the bullies, not with yourself. You seem like a great person to me. Does having a “physically weak” body bother you?

Yes. I’m only 19, and I don’t have the confidence to live by myself.

So you still live with them? Do any of these problems still pop up?

NEVER. I will not forgive them as long as I live. If I could, I would separate my mother into two versions of herself, one of them the kind, loving woman

So your mother has a good side to her, right? Maybe you are overemphasizing the bad parts of her? Try telling us some of the good things that she has done. I also noticed that you said “them”. Are there any problems with your father?

She cried her heart out, yes, but she doesn’t have it in herself to change.

Try suggesting some anger management therapy to her. Instead of forcing it on her, tell her how much her condition bothers you. Tell her how it has impacted you. If you have to, guilt her into fixing her problem. Remember, she has an issue just as much as you do. And it might not be her fault (perhaps her family instilled it in her).

I’ll note again, you don’t have to answer any of this if it bothers you. Also, sorry if you have tried any of this already. I just want to try to help in any way that I can.

Do you actually keep track of this “Respect” and “Repuatation”? Or is this just supposed to make me feel good about myself for a short while?

I keep track.

So far Hyped is 101 reputation and 101 respect.

I really do keep track. :) I’m awesome that way.

Adding something.

I’ve spitefully said I can’t change unless she can, and I meant it.

Does she know that you have depression? Has she tried to help you? Does she feel guilty/responsible about it?

Also, sorry if you have tried any of this already.

Yeah, sorry, but… Well, I would tell you why those things you said wouldn’t work, but it’s really too much of a hassle to type it all.

As for the names, it’s more or less just a matter of convention. It doesn’t really make much of a difference whether the family name is put first or last.

Oh yeah, I was already at 100. Whoo. Unless that’s where we start.. Then I feel average.

Eh, there’s no real way to know ‘why’ they do that anyways, right?

Don’t worry, Hyped.

You have 99 reputation and 103 respect in my book. Feel good, people don’t gain either much.
