Have your parent(s) embarrassed you a lot growing up and how did it affect you now that you’re an adult?

I’m just curious to know. I learned a lot realizing things, looking back on my childhood and how it relates to affecting me as an adult.

It wasn't about embarrassing me, it's always been about making me feel embarrassed by their over-reaction, ridicule or disparaging of things I did or liked but [i]they[/i] didn't. Shaming was their standard method of upbringing. As a result I never feel like anything I do is good enough and I always think too much about what other people think.

@CrazyMusicLover oh. I think my mom didn’t really realize what she did, but I see it.
