    Yup, when you don’t have a functional parent or adult around you learn to do a lot on your own.

    Then when you’re actually an adult you appear weird to everyone because you’re so independent it’s off-putting to people who grew up with social support.

    You also get to develop some trust issues because the people who are typically there to rely on as a child were unreliable.

    But everyone comes out the other end different and you realize how important those formative years are.
