Im 28, but extremely close to my family. Im currently in med school which is why I live at home. But something I realized 5 years ago is that my father really does not know what he is talking about.
Im not trying to sound cocky but as i grow in age, i realize his life lessons were just ploy to control me. For example, he never wanted me staying out late at night or hanging out with people from school. He told me that it is nothing but danger a foot. He never wanted me to drink because he said it will lead to drugs. Above all, he believe the way to be respected was to be quiet and just work hard.
If people say something you dont like, dont say anything because it makes you look weak.
After getting bullied in med school, I realized that i just came off passive and boring. I lack social skills because I was told to never invest in them. So I started to call out alot of these beliefs systems and of course my father is upset.
How do you handle this?
