Did your parents ever compare you to others?

r/

Not just in childhood, but even now at age 27 my parents still, particularly my mom, do it. To make it even worse when I have invited friends over , she has literally come up to us and told me in front of my face that they are better than me. Verbatim.

    Your mom sounds emotionally abusive. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that 😞

    Comparison kills joy. Say that and then become the grey rock
