Do you remember those teen years when your parents lectured you? When they said "I'm not lecturing you. It's not my intention to make you feel bad." So you open up, hoping it will be an ordinary conversation with discreetly placed advice, not insults that make you want to cry. And it does go well, until, right before they shut the door, they say something like "I'd hate to see someone with so much potential to ruin it all by making wrong decisions." that sort of comments very purpose is to crush you, to make you feel like absolute crap! Why don't people just say "I might be insulting you here, and I might be lecturing you a little bit, but it's for your own good that I lecture and insult you."Why aren't people honest about their intentions and what they mean? When people try to be something they're not and try to mean something they don't, it just makes them look like hypocrites. I remember feeling like I had no role models because they all said one thing and acted in another way. Why?
