Yes, I used to feel sorry for me sometimes that my siblings were around my mom all the time and I would have to wait until late night to have the love and attention of a parent. although there was a standing instruction in my house that my mom has to get the days menu from me. The only time I used to feel my moms warmth is when I wake in the morning she used hug me and kiss me then hand me glass of milk in bed. She used to sit with me until I am done drinking. When my dad was around, I was a princess.
Had I been an emotional person, it would have affecting me in a bad way. I would have developed hatred towards my mom. But my dad built such a positive, and analytical attitude in me that I never looked at things from negative perspective. Always looked for reasons for people's actions. So that it becomes easy to deal with them or the situations.
Oh that sounds very sad, but atleast that trained you in being more practical, analytical and understanding about people and situations. Maybe that's how you learnt not to be too sensitive as well, as some people say u become more sensitive when you are pampered a lot by both ur mom and dad, and even a small tear comes in ur eye, or a small pain in your heart, immediately its taken care of by ur parents until you are over it and cheerful once again. But again, I know some people who are not that understanding and dislike their mom for similar reasons. And some parents unknowingly show favoritism in children, they fail to notice how the other child feels. And such situations also sometimes develop insecurities and loneliness in children which later on might affect them in a negative manner. But glad you came out of it positively 😊.
Btw, I do need some tips from you on the same, as I am quite an emotional and sensitive person which definitely affects me negatively at times 😭. So I hate being this way and need some wisdom to come out of it permanently 😆. Tips on how to develop and maintain positive attitude in life no matter what happens or what anyone does to you 😳.
