Random thought: The thing about having emotionally immature parents and that being a thing that messes you up is… I know emotional neglect is real and serious and so on but… like it can’t be your tragic anime backstory.
At the messed up people convention:
Anime hero: I’m here because my mother left me for dead and then I had to kill my brother to avenge the murder of my father. You?
Me: oh yeah, for me, it’s because my parents were bad listeners, emotionally distant, and kinda self-involved.
