Feelings- All I ever heard from my parents were get over it, suck it up ,put some dirt on it and because I said so.

Yeah, I think I lack a sense of "feelings" because of this mindset my parents had. The only time I ever got any time of sympathy was if I was sick or something, other than that it was pretty hard core. "Getting upset isn't going to change anything. Move on". There were times when I would do something that hurt (scrap elbow, etc) and I guess I would cry and they would say "it isn't that bad, stop crying".

And that "because I said so" bullshite pissed me off. Just out of the blue they would say I couldn't do something and if I asked why "I don't need to give you a reason, because I said so..thats why"
