Why am I not good enough for my parents?

We are good enough Our parents, at times may appear very demanding. Their expecting at other times. Or sometimes Simultaneously may seem overly high. 9 times out of 10 these parents genuinely want the very best from that potential. We know there are the pushy parents. The ones who once had a lost dream and wish their offspring to peruse and carry on the baton, where they left of. Sometimes seeming overly controlling / psychopathic in their pursuit. Though many of such parents have produced fame passion ed successful celebrities, this is probably not the best method

Sometimes the issue is not you. Parents tend to put expectations on what they want their kids to do or become and missing what their kids would like and how as they assume they know the best for their kids regardless if it's true. So once they find one of their kids for example not measuring up to their expectations or choosing a different path or not doing the things they wanted him to do regardless what it is, he'll get labeled as not good enough or sometimes useless sadly...I'm sorry if you're going through this, words can become hurtful sometimes indeed but know that you are the master of your fate, the captain of your life. You choose what is best for you and choosing to be happy by your own definition of happiness is success to fulfill it, regardless if you are enough or not in others point of view. What matters is that you are convinced and enough for yourself! Hope this was helpful!

Every child is precious and valuable to his/her parents. You may not know it..they may not tell you , but you are. If they are constantly telling you the opposite, they have something good for you in their mind. Ask them politely .

Its not that you are not good enough, your parents could be going through a tough time right now so they are actin mean.

You are good enough they are just trying to push you to do something good for yourself..............

Parents as parents are want the best for their child. Unfortunately ,in their run to make achieve the potential they know you have, are pushing and pushing and never seeing what is too much . Because they think you're the strongest and can take anything.

The honest answer is you are good enough for your parents. They just have unfair expectations of you.

The problem is not that you're parents think you're not good enough. But it is you who thinks this way. You need to believe in yourself and follow the path where your heart leads you. Accept yourself as you are with your flaws and the mistakes you've made, you'll realize once you've done that people around you will also accept you as you are.

Possibility is that they see you for the potential in you and want to push you and do not know when to stop. As a parent I know I an very critical of my children sometimes simply because I don't want to see them make the same mistakes I did or I think my parents did with me. Unfortunately we don't know when to stop or even realise the fact that we may be suffocating our children by constantly breathing down their necks. The reason I am telling you this is to make you realise that it's not about you my dear. It a parenting fight. Infact, I personally think you must constantly be living up to their expectations and that's why they keep raising the bar. You are not just good enough, you are the best to your parents. They probably want to ensure that you become stronger.

The truth is you are enough. Always. No matter what. I hear you when you say you are in pain because you don't feel worthy of your parents' attention or approval. What I found in my own experience is that my parents' emotional intelligence simply isn't developed enough to maintain a healthy communication style. The problem is our love languages don't match up. They show affection through material stuff and money but that's not what I need. That said, through empathy I came to understand why are they doing this and where are they coming from which helped us to improve our relationship to a certain degree. I took acti e steps to work on my own self esteem and build a support network outside of family. Hope this helps to give you some insight.
