  • What if you don’t know how NOT to be a dick?

    E.g. My parents love me, but they still have “been dicks” to me my whole life because they don’t understand me, at all.

    Their ideology on politics, religion, money, society, on what a kid of theirs should become, etc is so far from what I am and aspire to be that every discussion I have with them leaves me saddened.

    Out of love for them, to please them, I refrain from outing my inner thoughts, my real desires. My parents get another version of me when I visit them. I want them to be happy, yet I am not. But I need them, because I’m kind of alone. I have this urge to please them.

    If I had kids, I’d wish to talk to their real selves, not a stoic version of their take on my perception of what a good kid of mine should be. Blahh.

    Sometimes being a dick is not searching to understand others.

    Being a dick is also not telling others who you really are.
