Anyone else have an overly-critical father?

[TaciturnCel]

My dad was critical af of me growing up (and still is, to a certain extent). Would always try to act macho and demean me in front of other people.
Even when I was in the middle school soccer team he would say "oh, that one time you headed the ball out of the goal, that's the only time I was proud of you."

Yes, I did. I got sick of his nonsense, and I haven't seen or spoken to him whatsoever in 4+ years.

no theory

My father has always played a passive role in my life, so we don't usually talk much

I prefer it that way though, he has a pretty toxic temper

 

[SilentSpecter]

Both of my parents didn't want to deal with my subhuman ass, so they shipped me over to my grandma's house.

No, my father was very loving and supportive

 

[Deleted member 6214]

Yeah. Mine was critical of everything I did, the way I walked, the way I talked, moved, etc. So many insecurities now

Dad is dead so can't relate

Being overly critical would mean that he knew anything about me, my dad never bothered to take any interest in my life.

Well I'd say he's more of a coward that disuaded me from doing anything as he expected failure, you can't grow as person if ppl won't let you make mistakes but at the same time won't teach you shit.

He was the youngest of 9 & the "baby" of the family, smothering mother & critical father, also autistic & hopeless at practical skills so I guess the personality emulates.

My father pretty much destroyed me. Always putting me down and affecting my confidence. He always pushes me down to act macho and has never supported me as a father would do. Always blaming for me nothing and no reason while at the same time praising other kids whenever he can. Never recognised the good things I did and then saying that other kids are far ahead of me. That piece of shit garbage is the reason my life got fucked pretty hard. Worse is that he only can bully me outside of the house he is an idiot. I'm High inhib pussy myself but even I am better than him at this point. He was not always like this, before when I was born he was pretty much a chad outside home then I don't know what happened.

Anyway I don't care much now and I don't blame him or my parents for anything. Society is the ultimate reason for what is happening to me, my parents just didn't try to support me that's it

Mine was. He never loved me, cared about me or was ever proud of anything I had ever done. I haven't seen him much in my adult years and I prefer to keep it that way.
