My parents never bought me any toys or games as a kid

[Done and over]

The biggest giga truecel trait was having parents who never bought you any toys, video games, and rarely let you watch movies as a kid. I know a lot of you guys missed out on teen love, being in cool friend groups, and various other social milestones, but I don't even have any fond memories to look back on in terms of video games and other solitary activities. My childhood was just a complete blank page with nothing to fondly look back on. I remember just spending years just staring at a wall and drawing doodles on homework assignments. It really fucking sucks not having any cool childhood connections to any video game franchises or TV shows. I don't even get to look back on that. My cheapskate parents have genuinely ruined my life in every fucking aspect. Right now, I'm just a hollow shell of a person with no distinct memories. I don't have memories of playing video games late at night, no distinct memories of growing up with a TV show. FUCKING NOTHING. Now, I can't go back and watch kid shows or play old school video games with the rose tinted glasses that is childhood. I never was even able to connect with outcast kids at school because I would have nothing to talk about in terms of gaming. I was a genuine empty boring ass person my whole life. It really sucks having no warm memories in your life. Fuck this shitty existence.

I remember a lot of kids would talk about call of duty in elementary school and I would have no idea what they were talking about. Throughout most of my life, any games kids were talking about or movies felt like some 2nd imagination land I have no access to. I could have had cool lifelong gaming friends if my parents weren't cheap shits. I'm on the brink of tears rn thibking about how them purchasing a gaming console could have made my social life as a kid much better. That 300 dollars for the Xbox could have helped build so many good memories for me to look back on forever. That's it it's over now. That same console isn't gonna do anything for my depressed ass right now.

Why are your parents like this ?
Poverty ? Religious reasons? Crazyness ?

Nope. They were just really cheap. They would always tell me they were poor but I recently found out they were high middle class this whole time which makes things even worse. They had the money to make my childhood rich and full of cool activities like gaming but they were too greedy to do at least that for me.

Thats really brutal. And very relatable. Up until i was ten, we had a Nintendo NES that my parents bought while we were abroad but later broke. Then my dad got a stroke and we became really dirt poor. Up until my late teens, i wasnt allowed to go outside, even with my cousins. Then when i was finally allowed, there was nothing for me anymore, kids my age experience mogged me to hell. My mom would guilt trip me that im leaving her alone. I didnt had any toys or consoles, didnt had a tv. I was hand making my own toys from rags. Everyone who knew it, made fun of me and called me crazy. I felt like im going crazy. Much later my brother and i bought Sega Mega 2, PS one and so on.

They would always tell me they were poor but I recently found out they were high middle class this whole time.

What an evil people.

May I ask when you were born? I can't remember CoD being a fad back when I was in elementary school yet.

It might have been middle school actually.

Fuck those people who called you crazy. I can relate to that as well since I would just doodle a lot as a kid. Those people don't understand that not everyone had the privilege of just growing up with cool games and having friends. We had to make do with random objects that were around us. Also that experience mog is so brutal. No one ever wants to speak to the kid who is 5 years behind everyone else. Once you are left behind, no one has the energy to run back to you and lift you up.

Very true. If you miss the milestones at certain age, it can never be made up.

What makes me really angry is that my parents were MORE than capable of ensuring that I had some cool toys and consoles to play on to connect with the kids around me. The day I found out about their true income has left me completely devastated.

USA. It might have been middle school actually.

I asked "when" not "where" but it having been middle school makes more sense unless you're a freshly minted 18+'er.

Sorry I read that wrong. I think it was middle school actually now that I think abt it.

To upkeep middle class - workers/slaves/servants needed.
They dont want you to belong to middle class.

Mine were poor and mentally ill. Still blame them for always putting my needs as last.
