Childhood is also a factor that shapes ur upbringing and childhood is determined by the factors mentioned above. Throughout school I was very withdrawn and often bullied for being so introverted an being a manlet I'm guessin.
In early school, older girls would bully me during break time, taking the piss out of me, even tricking me into believing they was my friend. In secondary school I was often isolated as my 2 so called friends would abandon me.
I hated school so much, often feigning sickness to get time off. College as well was hell as a loner, unable to form connections. At work ive also faced segregation in every working environment. Spoken down to an outright ghosted for no reason.
I've suffered with mental health all my life, specifically anxiety an depression. Even as a kid I was a loner and a worrier. As a recluse maybe a lot of my social issues are self inflicted but I do feel genetics are a factor as I've always been treated differently despite being friendly.
I've had many experiences were people would take the piss out of my big nose an manlet height, including managers. I guess mental health is also genetic considering my dad also suffered from anxiety, but then again he was a drug dealer from what I know.
These circumstances and factors are the manifestation of what we are today. In essence, our very being is by pure chance. If our closest ancestors never gave birth an our parents never met, would we even exist

.
Being an only child with one dead parent and basically no other close family remaining means you have essentially no support. Combine that with lack of friends and gf, and you’re never gonna get out of that pit.
Pretty much me, my dad died when I was 12, I never even knew the fucker. My brother is an abusive sociopath who made my life hell, thank fuck I finally flew the nest last october. I've never been that close with my mum because of how different I am.
And the rest of my aunts, uncles, cousins are the most miserable people who have never bothered with me.
