  • -5. I had one parent that was not great, and one that was a doormat. It wasn't any of the usual suspects, and I would say that that parent is eccentric and oblivious more than a bad person, but in the end I think I came out with some trauma.

    School was really hard early on (because I'm also weird), while the parental issues grew more severe later on.

  • Like I said in OP, that's how modern dictatorships work, too. They have coups and intrigues and corruption absolutely everywhere you look. The dictator spends most of their time just staying on top and keeping the factions in balance.

    I'd say you're right that the degree of control was lower on average before the conveniences of fast travel and communication, but then again it varied quite a bit. Rome's level of centralisation is still etched across the European landscape.

  • I mean, Buddhists just did a genocide in Myanmar. They have a cleaner track record than Abrahamic faiths for sure, but if you spend serious time in actual Buddhist places it fills the exact same societal roles.

    Neopaganism is a bit of an odd one out in that list, because it's a newly invented thing.

  • Friends and family will either listen to a point before saying they can’t handle it

    Well, that's good to hear. Hopefully it helps, and I'd also suggest that it means they do care, at least a bit.

    Maybe they do need to give you more time to vent, it's hard to say without being there. In general, we on the internet don't know you and can't have enough information to help you the way a therapist can.
