Most of my friends know about her . She lived to be 82 unfortunately passed away due to complications of diabetes. I guess we could describe our relationship as the same one woody allen had with his mom. She could be overbearing at times. But compared to some other mothers that I knew growing up I know I had it pretty good. When you see TV shows like the sopranos most of the problems are rooted with the characters mothers. If I hadn't discovered this website when I did I would have still been simping over girls who would lead me on like a puppy.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
So it's been a year since my mom passed

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

If I were to blame a parent, I would blame my dad. I love my dad but he lived in a different era and didn't instill the kind of values I wish I had at a young age.
Notably I was bullied during my early school years and my dad always advocated for going through the system; teachers, principals, etc, which never solved my problem. Meanwhile my mom was the one that suggested I fight so I wouldn't have the problem in the future.
When it comes to blaming one's mother...I mean, that just goes back to not asking a deer how to hunt deer, but ask a hunter.
