I am neutral. I like if my parents are proud of me but I'm also fine if they don't.

I never understood or supported this mindset.
Why would my life be all about making other people feel proud? If my parents had me only to be a trophy of how sucessful they are, they had me for the wrong reasons. I live for me. And the only person I care to make proud of me, is me.

Do you agree?

Absolutely nothing I ever did made my parents proud of me, so I gave up trying.

@Mardrae They should just be proud that you're alive, but some parents realize that when it's too late. Their loss.

@Queendragonfly yeah, they’ve both been dead for 22 years, so maybe in our next life we’ll have a better relationship.
