Funny thing is... I think I was even taught to do things without expecting things from others... by my adoptive father... who was mentally abusive. He probably screwed me up too to be honest.
Actually yeah, It very much sounds like a learned behaviour. Have you ever had a chance to explore that further on your own or maybe with a therapist?
I had something similar growing up with two narcissistic parents. Not saying that your mom is a narcissist but based on what you described her actions definitely sound like emotional abuse.
