Are your parents proud of you?

I sort of have the opposite effect. My family is constantly proud of me and expect amazing things, as if I'd be written in newspapers or some shit. I think I'm just mediocre as fuck and will probably be a dissapointment to everyone. I'll just probably cut all contact later on.

I'm the example my aunts and uncles can point to and say "don't end up like anon, kids!"

You should tell your dumb mom that if she wanted you to go straight to law school she should have not been a stupid poor pleb and saved up.

>>38193978
Probably not, I was always the most underachieving in my family and they don't approve of my career choice at all. They're always reminding me all my cousins are pharmacists making bank now or are in pharmacy school which is where they wanted me to go.

I don't think they've ever felt proud. Mom's probably a bit ashamed that I'm still living at home, but they're both probably happy that I'm like a little obedient robot who runs dads business for them. Either I work or I sit cooped up in my room, wasting away in front of the computer.

Similar to my situation. "We're so very proud of you, anon!" even though I still live with them, don't work, take a few classes at college and get mediocre grades in them, have never brought home a girl for them to meet so they probably think I'm gay, etc etc etc.

Don't care because I have no respect for them anymore. I certainly hope they are not proud of me since that would imply they think they had anything to do with my accomplishments.

your mom sounds like kind of a cunt anon

Same, my mom and dad are really proud of me because I'm joining the marine corps but at the same time I'm a 20 year old NEET so it's really confusing and makes me feel weird, because I don't deserve to have people be proud of me, not yet anyway

>Father physically (but non sexually) abuses me as a child
>Drop out of high school
>Do various jobs for short periods
>Go full NEET at 20
>Can't throw me out because mom won't let him
>When people ask my father what his son is doing, he has to respond with "sitting in his pyjamas smoking weed, playing vidya, masturbating and watching movies/tv shows all day"


The ultimate revenge.

I don't live through the eyes of my parents.
Making them proud isn't the reason why I wake up in the morning (I don't know what is though)

probably not, whenever I see my mom she asks if I am happy at my current job and if I want her to use her connections and send my cv to IT companies. My job current job is related to IT at all and barely above minimum wage.

>>38193978
I'm VERY lucky.
>30.
>Unemployed a lot.
>Live at home, though I did move out for 4 years once.
>Smoke weed.
>Drink A LOT.
>Perpetually depressed for 15 years.
My parents are still proud of me because I'm a really nice person.
They're incredibly nice and supportive.

>>38193978
They don't really have a reason to be proud of me. Since I'm the oldest child, they put huge expectations on me and needless to say I failed. Meanwhile my younger brother is a Chad and one of the most successful people in my immediate and extended family.

>The ultimate revenge.

Maybe it's because I'm not there, but he doesn't sound very booty bothered by your lifestyle. Sounds more like he thinks to himself "I always knew that little faggot wouldn't amount to anything."

My parents are human garbage, I don't care if they're proud of me or not.

>>38193978
My parents are really proud of me but say their only complaint is that I'm a bit insane.

He's gone on anti-depressants, sees a therapist, seems to have developed borderline anorexia, broke off contact with most of his "friends", started smoking several packs per day, has threatened to kill himself.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he does end up killing himself.

My mom constantly tells me how proud she is. I want to fucking scream at her that she created trash and I'm nothing to be proud of.

Yes. The feeling is mutual between me and my parents. I want to do my best and make them even more proud of me.

>25 years old and only worked for a single year

Imagine your exact situation except everyone in your family thinks your a waste of oxygen. Then you'd pretty much be me.

>Dad always encourages me to get a job, do voluntary work, go out more, get active and hang out with my friends
>Mum just lets me do what ever, does everything for me (even when I try to offer help) and overall treats me like a child still, despite going to uni in a few months
>Both are still proud that I'm going to uni
>Expect me to be the most successful in the family making hundreds of thousands from my dream job since the oldest is living well with a family and has a decent job, the second oldest has no job, lives off benefits with his gf and drinks a lot, the second youngest sits at home and watches anime all day
Still feel like a introverted child at this point. Why bother trying anymore?
Why do I even try anymore if they make things too easy for me, practically do everything for me while expecting a lot from me in return.

Definitely not. Back when I was in uni they kept urging me to go out with friends (haha like I had any) and it was obvious that I was loser. I graduated with decent grades but it's not like I got a good job anyway so now my mom tells me to find a better one as soon as possible. However I know I have only a small chance of that so my parents are bound to stay disappointed seeing as I have nothing else in my life.

Your parents only "love" you as long as you provide a net emotional benefit
