Parents made you

What did your parents make you do, that you did not want to do?

What did you want to do, that your parents didn't let you do?

What job did your parents want you to get? What is your job?

In what ways did you disappoint your parents?

they made me take the SAT in 7th grade. between 3rd and 7th grades they made me memorize 10 to 20 SAT words per week in the school year; and 10 to 20 SAT words per day during the summer.

counseling, martial arts. if it wasn't something that made me academically better, they didn't lemmie do it.

the wanted me to be a medical doctor or an electrical engineer

i've been earning minimum wage my whole "life". i am not cisgender. i have zero "friends".

I don't think I'm a disappointment to my parents so much as I've been a disappointment to myself.

When I was an undiagnosed teenager my mother wanted me to be interested in other things besides cartoons and animation. I guess she thought I would have better peer relations and it would make my life at school better. Wrong.

My therapist at the time even said my lack of interest in doing other kinds of art was being like a baby that decides never to learn to walk because they're so good at crawling. I thought that was a load of bull. Meanwhile, my brother was a good guitar player, but no one was telling him he should play the piano or the clarinet.
