Desire to impress parents

[jacknine119]

Guys how can i solve this? i often imagine how i impress my parents with my actions.

Impress them real good 😂

Consider what would happen if you completely disappointed them. Imagine, right now, you become the biggest failure in their eyes, forever, with no chance to change it. What would happen? What would be the worst-case scenario? And how would you feel about it?

Then, focus on the emotions and physical sensations that arise.

This might be connected to childhood experiences where you felt your parents only loved you when you behaved a certain way.

Find a way to get you parent to get you in the room in love making with a guy. They will be impressed.

Don’t impress them. They have an image about you that you will never be able to satisfy. You need to build autonomy in your life, which will take years of hard work.

Another insight: bad idea to try to introduce what solipsism is to my mother. She got curious about it and is now having an existential crisis 💀 

I won’t be the one to save her.

It's a normal way to think. If you didn't care what they thought or didnt want to impress them, you'd likely not become much in life.
