I used to see a therapist who practices psychodynamic therapy, which is the school likes to dig into your past to investigate your traumas, so I did a lot of reflections on my relationship with my parents.

Mine are like many Asian parents, who indeed wronged me. I heard a lot of white and black parents told the kids how much they love them. My parents never did because I didn't do that well in school, at least not up to their expectations and their "sacrifice" and effort. They were always in a bad mood with me, and keep mumbling that I'm gonna starve and be homeless when I grew up.

The reason why I talk about this here is not because I think that really traumatized me so I don't wanna live, but rather to acknowledge the fact, this is something indeed happened to me. They don't have a place in my philosophical standing, which are antinatalism and nihilism.

My therapist said it could be that I have a sad and hurt feeling and then I try to rationalize my feelings and philosophies it into the "ism" I believe. Then the burden of the proof fell on my shoulder. I would have to prove then I'm not a sad kid that has driven by impulses they implied I am.
