I'm not at all a fan of VB or David B or, maybe I should say, indifferent. Don't like the whole influencer thing.
But it's definitely the case that certain children see the world very differently, and more negatively. Especially those with an anxious/depressive disposition.
I have two kids and one (16) is like this. When anxious/stressed the most awful words and accusations come out of their mouth. I'm not proud but I've said 'you're horrible' as what he's said has been atrociously horrible. I do know that sometimes it's probably due to being in what I call a 'stress bubble'. I don't think they have any recollection of this afterwards. Often uses expressions such as 'you don't do anything for me, you don't love me', when we are very, very close and I do a lot for them. They've calmed down lately and, as I say, they can be incredibly loving and huggy.
But it's a bit of threading around egg shells. Sometimes nowadays - not talking about physical/sexual/serious abuse here - but in today's world there is so much about 'boundaries', 'what my parent said' and youngsters now look to TikTok and SM and see 'perfection'. I guess most of our childhoods could be seen as lacking in comparison.
Families do (maybe not all, but many) have different opinions, shout, say awful things very occasionally, but then kiss and make up (metaphorically!). But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
Often I find the people that go NC - again not all but it's such a growing phenomenon - can't live in the grey zone, it's all black and white. I do wonder whether more are on the anxious/depressive spectrum and ND?
Children are not always right. Children don't always remember things correctly either. Kids can be 'narcissists' too. Often the people I've met who have gone NC could be described as rather self-centered too. The ones I've met are very concerned about their image.
Again not all but we are seeing a tsunami of people going NC. I think that's cruel.
