Name the #1 behavior your parents hate you doing!! !

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is not wanting to do things socially. For example a few family members were going out for xmas dinner last year and I decided I'd prefer to stay at home which didnt go down too well with either of them..........................
The bit that gets on my nerves is I wasnt the only one not going and when I questioned them about that their answer was ''well he/she will be out with friends that night''
They assume because I dont have friends and dont go out with friends that I should always be available to go anywhere and everywhere with them.
Then they see me as being rude when I say no...................................

Not answering their phone calls. (I've lived away from home for 9 years.)

my parents are both deceased, so I would have to say my constant talking makes my husband explode at me to "shut up". Next would be not comprehending what he is trying to say, or having to have him repeat it AGAIN. Then comes the constant fidgeting that makes the couch shake.

As a kid, interrupting "adult" conversations, and lacking empathy for others/ making puns about people in horrible situations cause I like the word patterns/sounds. And not sharing with people.

Now...all of that, except I interrupt less, share a little more, and I'd have to say "seeing flaws" in my mother all the time. I don't see it as that, but my mother hates it if I tell her that she has a hair out of place or a piece of lint on her shirt. If it's something major, like you just stepped in gum, it's ok.....but if she sees it as minor, she thinks I'm picking on her. I'm just trying to improve her personally. I don't like things to be out of place on me, why walk around with flaws if you don't have to?

I relate to a lot of others on the list too. Hard to pick just one.

My rocking used to drive my mother insane.

"Talking loudly" as my dad put it, also interrupting when he talks to me, and also "jumping up and down in my room" when I'm dancing to my music.

As of late, though, the latter hasn't been an issue for me, as we have a one-level apartment, and he can't feel anything.

My obliviousness towards the pecking order, ie not sucking up to those above me and not abusing those below me.

actually, I meant "not taking advantage" of those below me. I used the wrong term.

My family consider this obliviousness the ultimate selfishness. They say if they can't afford to act without regard to the pecking order, then why should I be allowed to, it's not fair. So everyone in the direct and expanded family outcast me. They'd never, ever accept that I didn't use to do it on purpose but that I was born with an inability to read nonverbal social rules.

There were general things about me that annoyed them, thats all.
Not playing sports like my brothers.
Wearing my butt length super thick hair in a pony tail instead of down (even if it was a 40 degree C day)

Finding behaviors of mine that bothered them would have required them to pay attention to me

My mother? Self-harm, and I understand why (not many people would like to see their child harming themselves); she's cool otherwise.
My father? Probably when I kill him.

Hrm, the one they hate the most with me? o.O That i spend so much time on my games even though i'm brilliant enough to succeed academicly. ~.~

Oh and Greentea, i feel you there.... <.< The whole thing about the pecking order.... Never really understood it myself... I mean, if you're on top, shouldn't you try being nicer to those below you without thinking of going higher? (but still be glad when that happens)

i'm not a crazy gamer but i usually spend my days in front of my computer. on my past birthday parents gave me a new laptop, so now i have my own machine. but it never changes - no matter whether it's my laptop or our family pc, my mom once in a while gets mad at me yelling that i ALWAYS waste my time, that there's only one life and it it's not virtual, etc etc etc..
i think i'm more mad at my parents then they at me (((

Loud hand slapping when I'm excited.

I will sometimes smile or laugh at inappropriate moments.

I forget things or hear things differently.

I have attention problems and lose focus and break things, run into stuff, ect.

I sometimes have trouble with my tone of voice. I could be totally indifferent but my voice might sound angry.

My mom complains about the time I spend on the computer.

I can talk forever about the same subject that I'm interested in.

I have a bad habit of repeating myself.

Sometimes I repeat words or phrases again and again.

I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of.
