Growing up with depressed parents is one of the saddest things. Considering that every child wants love, support and happiness, it is a real bad luck to be raised by someone who spreads only negative energy.
According to psychologists, mothers have higher possibilities to suffer from depression in a family.
Below we are going to share some behaviors that reveal someone was raised by depressed parents.
Which Are 4 Irritating Behaviors Of Someone Who Was Raised By Depressed Parents?
1. SOCIAL DIFFICULTIES
Per the World Health Organization (WHO), children with depressed parents are more likely to experience social problems: “The most compelling evidence for the impact of attachment status on the child is with respect to peer relations.”
The WHO report concludes that these social difficulties “have been shown to be related to behavioral problems, including disruptiveness, aggression, and delinquency, especially in boys.”
2. POOR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The poor emotional intelligence (EI) of adults with depressed parents is likely attributable to one of two things: (1) infrequent caregiver interaction that stunts emotional development, or (2) withdrawal from peers, which is essential to this type of intelligence.
Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, the four components of EI, are far more important to success than IQ or educational attainment.
3. UNDERACHIEVEMENT OR OVERACHIEVEMENT
Here’s Dr. Masgrove: “I was a perfectionist, an overachiever, always trying to get my mother to notice me, always longing for her acceptance, love, and attention that just never came my way.” Masgrove’s personality carried on into adulthood.
On the opposite side are those kids-turned-adults who have, most unfortunately, deeply entrenched cognitive, psychological, and/or social troubles.
4. LOSS OF DIRECTION
Per the WHO report, “Infant temperament, particularly infant difficultness, has been found to be associated with the caregiver-child interaction,” adding “Mothers report feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of caring for a vulnerable child.”
Feelings of overwhelm (e.g., anxiety) unquestionably have strong environmental roots – and it’s something with which we all must contend. However, one’s outlook on life is also shaped by their caregivers; and an inability to manage (and see past) life’s obstacles carries a real risk of leaving someone adrift.
