Why am I not good enough for my parents?

You are good enough for them, even if they do not show it. They just want you to grow up successful, and they may not want you to grow up how they did, if you do not know their background.

Please do not think that you are not good enough. I would not encourage you to think that way. We are our own worst critics. Instead you can try learning from your mistakes and focus on becoming a better version of yourself.Do you know in what ways your parents are being hard on you? As long as you try your best and work hard in everything, then you should not worry about what your parents think. Try surrounding yourself with people who are positive and see the best in you.

You are good enough just the way you are. Don't tell yourself that you aren't. You can not please everyone. Give yourself a break.

Sometimes parents have so much on their plate and some people don't even understand it. They have lots of bills to pay, cleaning, and having to go to work. Sometimes parents are just stressed out or they've had a busy day and want to relax. Don't feel like you're not good enough for your parents because they adore you. Some quality time is essential with them. Parents try their best to support you in life and even sometimes they probably feel depressed and feel like they're not good enough. So it's always best to appreciate their effort.

You probably are good enough for your parents. They just want to see you succeed and live up to your full potential but that doesn't mean that they aren't super proud of what you are today.

Sometimes, parents can hold high standards and it seems that no matter what we do, we just cannot please them. But, at the end of the day, they are our family. No matter what, your parents will want the best for you even if they hold unreasonable expectations or biases. Please consider having an open and honest conversation about how you're feeling to your parents. I am sure they would feel devastated knowing that you feel like you are not good enough.

I am sure that your parents are proud of you and that they truly love you. You don't have to feel oblidged to them in any case :)

Maybe they like you but they might be afraid that you could get spoiled and keeps a hold on....people have different way to show how they care for you.

I think the perspective in your question is a bit off; is it that you are genuinely not good enough by their standards or that their standards are actually very destructive and disproportional to your personality? My guess is that it's the latter. No one has the right (not even parents) to qualify their children as "good enough". What is their definition of "good enough"? Whatever that may be, please remember that not fitting their mold in no way means that you are less than or broken because you choose to go a different (not wrong) path. If your parents want you to be a doctor who only listens to jazz music and you enjoy blasting rock music on your way to work as a construction worker, then go for it! Your ideal of "good enough" is just that - YOURS! Good luck!

Parents always want the best of you. When they are strict with you, they mean to improve you. You are good enough for them, they just dont want to let you know it, to keep you grounded and improve yourself. They won't accept it untill the bring out the best version of you
