The book will give you techniques on recognizing your emotions, and a lot of useful support on encouraging you to be more comfortable expressing them.","subreddit_name":"SneerClub","author":"zhezhijian"},{"body":"Read [book](https://www.amazon.com/Running-Empty-Overcome-Childhood-Emotional-ebook/dp/B009VJ4B4C/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=running+on+empty\u0026amp;qid=1625383564\u0026amp;sr=8-1).

It's a fantastic book and quick read that focuses on childhood emotional neglect, the causes, and possible paths forward. \r\n\r\nI can relate a lot to an unstable upbringing: fear of a violent explosion from care figures fostered a need to read the slightest cues in body language and inflection to gauge what they were actually thinking and feeling.\r\n\r\nThe good news? After learning about CEN and pursuing therapy, I've made tremendous progress towards moderating my own emotional reactions, and can still read people pretty well.\r\n\r\nThere's hope. Trust me on this. :)","subreddit_name":"socialskills","author":"Lokan"},{"body":"Haven't been doing very well lately. I've  been in a bit of a funk, so I haven't been doing my healthy habits and have instead have been engaging in my unhealthy ones, including MADD. I know I need to work harder on my resiliency and sticking to doing the good things, even when I don't feel like it. I just keep reminding myself it is one of the many mental/spiritual 'muscles' that I am trying to build.\r\n\r\nPicked up a book on [childhood emotional neglect](https://www.amazon.com/Running-Empty-Overcome-Childhood-Emotional-ebook/dp/B009VJ4B4C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=emotional+neglect\u0026amp;qid=1602083373\u0026amp;s=digital-text\u0026amp;sr=1-2) and it resonated with me. It's funny - I think for a lot of us, we spend our childhoods trying to just survive, then as adults go through periods where we try to do our best in spite of our childhood wounds and keep messing it up, and then eventually come to a place where we look back at our childhoods and go 'OK, what the hell was that about?' \r\n\r\nI read a lot of self-help books in general, and I find when I read something I really resonate with I've started talking to my characters about it, my past life experiences, why I am the way I am now, etc. Which I think is a healthier way of daydreaming rather than saving the world and having adoring fans. Probably what would be healthiest is to actually talk to someone IRL about it, but I have this fear of not being taken seriously/being seen as a whiner, yada yada. But maybe one day I can bridge that gap.","subreddit_name":"MaladaptiveDreaming","author":"JamesRKirk"},{"body":"Sorry you're having a tough time.

No one should be exposed to this kind of behavior.  Obviously it's affecting you physically and psychologically now, but I would be concerned how it affecting your long term development.  This sounds like an authoritarian parenting style (it's an actual psychological concept) and it sounds like you are being exposed to a fair amount of emotional neglect.  \r\n\r\nI went through something similar when I was living with my father but I wasn't able to do anything about it at the time.  I'm presuming that you are younger and still dependent on your parents so its not a situation thats easily escapable.  And of course some people are ignorant, stubborn, and resistant to change.  Recognizing that it's affecting you and that it's a problem is a good first step though.\r\n\r\nThere are books that I read that helped me understand what I went through, and maybe it would help you as well.
