 02.Possible issues with parenting through professional parenting

Based on my clinical experience observation，Children who have been forced to become parents' containers since childhood，There are often the following characteristics：

1、Highly empathetic towards others，Extreme neglect of oneself

Children from families with inverted parent-child relationships often have strong empathy for others，Very attentive and considerate to others' feelings，Very considerate of others，howevertaPeople often overlook themselves extremely，Even without the concept of self，seemtaThe value of our existence is to satisfy others，Always prioritize the needs of others before your own needs，Good at taking care of others，Excessive tolerance and concession towards people and things，Very empathetic towards others，But I don't empathize with myself，And sometimes they are very demanding of themselves。

in addition，tTheir obedience is very high，Many times, they obey others without hesitation，This is also a habitual reaction of being around others since childhood。

2、Not sure what you want

I don't know what I want，taPeople often have no knowledge of their own preferences，I often have no idea how to spend my life。

But that doesn't mean they're idle all day，contrary，Many of these children have been busy since childhood due to the expectations placed on them by their parents，Many of them are even academic bullies，Good academic performance，But after being admitted to college, I am not clear about what I want。Or after working, I realize that this is not what I want，To reflect on what one wants。
