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.

My mother was the source of most my embarrassments. She tended to be loud, obnoxious, and drunk. I grew up socially isolated, a loner, and very clumsy in most social relationships and situations. It's all still there, I've just gotten better at coping, concealing, and carrying on. It paid off during the pandemic, I was social distancing long before it was cool!

@GerOttman my mom is also loud. She doesn’t have friends but ever since I was a kid when she would be around our family she would try to make them laugh even when I didn’t think it was funny.
