Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
Eh, I get it. But our parents (those of us who where lucky enough to have ones who were trying and loving), they did know us better then we thought.
Better than we know ourselves? Probably not. Of course at what age that becomes true is different for each kid and parent.
That last one feels to real

Let's do more shitting on parents. They're not people, they can take it.
:(
Your parents were studying you before you understood object permanence, Felicia. The only person consuming this carefully crafted version of yourself is you. Your parents changed your nappies. You're not smart enough to understand you have no secrets, but you'll figure it out.
I see "my parents are so dumb" is still a thing for secondary students.
LoL nah. Good parents might, sure. Bad parents just think they do, while projecting themselves onto their kids. I'm pushing 50, and my parents have never understood me at all. Even when I open up and try to explain my perspective today, they take offense, declare it as rebellion against god, and simply refuse to think about what I've said. There is no helping them.
My mom and I actually talked about this. We love each other very much, but, outside of horror movies, most of our interests are different. On a car rise we went thought some things. Favorite song, movie, etc. As I've gotten older and gotten the language for it, I've explained what overwhelms me and when I need to be alone and our relationship has gotten way better. We actually had a fight last week and it was pretty... Normal. I had said something snippy, and told her soon after I didn't even feel that way because I was upset and was snapping at her, which is why I wasn't ready to talk to her. She actually let me cool off and we spoke later, explained ourselves, and made plans for if the situation happens again.
My mom has put a lot of work into understanding me and giving me the space to make mistakes. I learned a lot of her quirks and preferences through trial and error as a kid, but she had to do that with me as an tight lipped adult. It's not 100%, there are still things I prefer to discuss with someone else, but the work as really been paying off for us.
However, this only works with certain parents. 👀
"Ya" is such a pet peeve of mine. Yeah or yah.
