The article on Cursor Info, based on material from Your Tango, describes six habits that are said to form in adults whose parents did not listen to their feelings and opinions in childhood. The first habit is hiding emotions: a person gets used to not talking about their experiences because they never learned to recognize them. The second is hyper-independence: without receiving support from parents, a child learns to rely only on themselves. The third is self-doubt and low self-esteem due to a lack of emotional validation. The fourth is difficulty trusting others, including close ones. The fifth is problems with setting personal boundaries and a tendency to please others. The sixth is an attraction to toxic or unstable relationships that replicate the familiar dynamics from childhood. The article includes comments from psychologist Mark Travers and mental health coach Darius Chikanavičius.
