        How was it growing up upper middle class and Wasp though? Most people who are leftist minded I feel like would hate that lifestyle, I'm assuming you weren't a fan?

          Argued with my parents a lot. Never got to explore who I was or what I wanted because I needed support from my parents I never got. The constant everything in moderation, be reasonable, not too happy BS was really hard on me. Luckily for them they had the money for wilderness and transitionary living so I had the chance to clean up their mess. My brother did fine because hes naturally independent, self sufficient, and masculine, but I never got the support, closeness or affection that I needed to be successful. My dad being emotionally abusive didn't help either. He'd yell at me over the pettiest things and never gave me a choice in what I did, how I expressed myself or what my values were. When I hit ~13 I became better at debating than him and he respected me for the first time. In his head that meant he was done parenting me. the removed.

          I remember going on a road trip when I was around 10 and realizing for the first time that some people didn't have nice things because they couldn't afford them. I always assumed that people who had BMWs were just people who cared about cars more. I thought they were kinda conceeded and petty to care about a car that much.

          The shortest answer possible is that I've been miserable my whole life. My mom said I was a happy baby but as soon as consciousness hit things got worse. The only thing keeping me going is that I don't want to make the people around me sad. Things might get better but im not capable of imagining it.

            Sorry about that my friend. That's rough but you seemed to persevere and you're here now talking to me and explaining shit. Yeah I can't imagine being a leftist and growing up in vain and capitalist minded wasp world. You've had it rough, but keep going.

            I grew up in a lower middle class Scots-irish family in the midwest. I had some racist and bigoted relatives which alwayswas difficult dealing with, but my mom and dad treated me with love. Sorry things started out badly for you, but you are for sure smart enough to make your life better.

            Solidarity comrade, I could've written that word for word. Glad you've got a better outlook now, hope things look up for you to go with that :stalin-heart:
