Growing up under neglectful or toxic parenting can leave deep emotional scars that often carry into adulthood. In this video we explore 20 common signs that suggest a person may have been raised in a harmful environment. These can include emotional numbness or disconnection even in distressing situations, difficulty believing that they deserve love or kindness, a strong need to avoid conflict or apologize for everything, and chronic self-doubt or feelings of low self-worth. Many survivors struggle to accept compliments, resist being vulnerable, or feel unsafe expressing opinions or needs. Others may react with hyper-vigilance, over-control, or intense anxiety when things feel out of control. The aim is not to judge but to recognize patterns, and maybe give words to what some have lived through. If this resonates or raises questions for you, this video offers insight and may help you understand how past upbringing can shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviour later in life.
