[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]omg will some people never never stop blaming their parents for every goddamned thing it's so pathetic[/quote]

My thoughts, exactly. Sorry, OP!

FWIW, my parents divorced when I was five, with my mom having full custody and having to work long hours. I'm also the only child. Honestly, I don't remember my mother 'socializing' with any friends during her time off, she was spending all her free time with me. She had friends from college she was in touch with, mostly, by phone, but that's about it.

I started school, met some friends there, and it has been a smooth ride ever since. Now that I'm an adult, my mother resumed some old friendships she was too busy to maintain before.

OP, for crying out loud, it's not your parents' fault that you lack social skills.

Its not about whining or apportioning blame. If i told you that my mother never cooked anything at home and therefore i needed advice on  how to cook everyday, how normal people actually fit it into their lives would you think that was unreasonable? Also having friends you call from colleges shows building and maintaining long term relationships as an adult. You didnt mention your dad so shall i just assume he socialized? What about dating? Im not the op, i have a similair issue, i know its a small hurdle, a few things to learn but come on with this bs. Why does it bother you that someone mentions their upbrining as a root cause? Is it because when you were growing up something (far worse ) about your upbringing had an affect on you, but you wont admit that it did? So you hate people associating behaviours and feelings  they have today with their youth because if something as banal as this could affect you long term than what about something worse?[/quote]
