Growing up, did anyone's parents act like their behavior was always amusing?
I realise my parents were pretty patronizing with an amused attitude, as though my actions were always something to look at with a "how amusing" attitude that one would give a three year old. I'm talking about teen years here too, and normal activities such as talking on the phone, hanging out with friends, even just going to the mall. My parents would smirk, or comment on simple activities like that.
Now that I'm fully grown, I wonder if this is where some of my social anxiey comes from, I constantly think people are going to laugh at me. And I also realise their behavior was somewhat odd... or at least odd to me. They didn't go out much, or have many friends, I remember.
I can't pinpoint it, but I can vaguely remember how amazed I was when I went to some friend's houses and their parents didn't comment on stuff they did.
Anyone grow up in a similar situation?
