Summary

In this episode, we delve into personal experiences and struggles shared by callers. Topics include societal pressure, childhood trauma, academic challenges, cultural identity, relationships, self-image, and coping mechanisms like pornography. Callers discuss feelings of abandonment and neglect, tracing these emotions back to family dynamics and fears of rejection. We explore the impact of neglect on self-worth and offer insights on improving social skills, self-perception, and rebuilding self-worth in healthier ways.

0:00.0	Hello?
0:01.6	Hello.
0:02.5	How's it going?
0:03.6	Good.
0:03.9	How are you doing, Steph?
0:05.2	I am well. Thank you for having a decent microphone. It makes me weep with joy and gratitude. Oh, yeah, because it's the gamer in me. So I just bought it because I just wanted a nice mic. So I just have the headphone mic set up. Oh, nice, nice. What's the mic, by the way? I think it's an Elgado Wave 3.
0:24.2	Oh, nice. Nice. Okay. All right. Enough tech. I'm all ears, brother. How can I best help?
0:30.1	Also, I don't remember what I said. I've worked for in the email, but I'm 25 years old and still
0:36.1	live in my parents' basement. And then, right now I just work a job as a fabric here, but I'm 25 years old and still living my parents' basement. And then right now I just

1:23.5	life and not much of a social circle.
1:34.9	Wow. Okay. I'm obviously happy to hear more about childhood and all that kind of juicy stuff.
2:02.1	Sure. So as a kid growing up, both my parents worked. My dad worked nights and my mom worked during the day. So I saw mom more but spent a lot of my childhood with my grandma but she was very cold verbally abusive and physically abusive at times so it was being hit with a belt or sometimes during the shower if you did something, you'd grab me in the head and put my head into the tile of the bathtub.
