Yes and no.Are/were your parents proud of you? Does it matter to you?
I know exactly what you mean. But I think I grew up not caring what anyone thought about me.Dad was happy when I married. Mom was not. (It wasn't personal, she just doesn't appreciate marriage.)
I guess I don't care if they're proud or not. I care for my parents, but there are people that I would seek to make proud over them.

My dad is not proud of me and he lets me know it. Quite a jerk. I’m not proud of my dad but I don’t let him know it.
Grandparents day was a few weeks ago, and my dad’s mom was wanting to talk to my brother and I apparently. My dad has kept me and my bro away from contact with my grandma for a couple years and now I found out why. So I guess my dad has failed to tell my grandma I divorced and apparently I am happily married and have a successful career. And apparently my brother is not gay and also is a medical professional. None of this is true and it ended up with my dad just not giving us a way to contact our grandma so his lies wouldn’t be found out.
I dont like my dad. God, he likes watching WW2 documentaries and while watching he’ll loudly comment how all the soldiers were younger than me but actually doing something with their lives. I could’ve been an Air Force officer and my dad would’ve been proud, but I couldn’t morally do that when the opportunity arose, so I said no. If I was a normie statist, he’d be proud.
My dad’s blatant shame of me does me no good. It makes me go out of my way to have minimal contact with him.
What about you? Your parents proud of you?
Same.I know exactly what you mean. But I think I grew up not caring what anyone thought about me.
And I still don't care. People can talk all they like but most of them don't really care what I do anyway, and I realize that.Same.
I doubt anyone wants to talk about me. I'm boring.And I still don't care. People can talk all they like but most of them don't really care what I do anyway, and I realize that.

Boring people interest me.I doubt anyone wants to talk about me. I'm boring.
Ahh, thanks.Obviously.
Ya weirdo...
I’m not sure. Part of it is I’m mentally not all there and that restricts me from having a nice career and part of it is my dad is a jerk soo idk if I’ll ever be able to make him proud. I’m definitely never telling him I’m gay because he’d be ashamed of that. You see what I mean? A lot of the issue is with my dad himself I suppose, but it still affects me negatively.

That sucks man. He does indeed sound like a jerk...My dad is not proud of me and he lets me know it. Quite a jerk. I’m not proud of my dad but I don’t let him know it.

My mother was, even before I gave her any reason to be. I remember visiting her near the end of her life. I reheated her coffee in her microwave. I entered 90, and she commented that she always entered 1:30 for 90 seconds. She was impressed that I did it with one fewer keystrokes.Are/were your parents proud of you?
My mother's love mattered to me then and now, although she's been gone for a decade.Does it matter to you?
Did you know a mother?I think all the people who have raised me aside from my foster parent and my uncle are proud of me. My bio dad included. I dont think my uncle is but i dont care fir his opinion I want him as far away from me as possible for my safety. My foster parent I cut contact with i have no clue her opinion it don't matter to me cuz i purposely cut contact she dont know me. The ones that are proud of me matter cuz helps me with self esteem.
Ah i forgot to include my mom. I don't know her opinion. We hardly talk. I get the vibe she doesn't know what to make of me.Did you know a mother?
I know the feeling of perceiving people not knowing what to make of me. The same was true of our local Baha'i community not knowing what to do with our autistic son.Ah i forgot to include my mom. I don't know her opinion. We hardly talk. I get the vibe she doesn't know what to make of me.
Edit: i last saw her when i was 9 I think. I can talk to her on the phone thats recently started since I was 18 i talk on the phone with her and she has talked about wanting to visit me but we hardly talk she never reaches out to me first.
