On point! 😂 can’t wait to see more of those (maybe a lil shorter frames) but otherwise fantastic work!!

I feel like I am a little bit of all 😅😅😅😅😅😅 I am FA

😂😂😂

If you go no-contact with a noisy eater, that's not a petty reason. That's just self-defense. You deserve better than to have that in your life.

Sitcom families: Sitting around scoring points sniping at each other. Sigh

Lmfao.

Accurate! 110% this is fantastic Patrick! ❤

I'm both the 'Darkness' and the 'are we good?' Type. 😢

A brilliant video 😂😂😂

"Yeah, I'm awful;, The Worst Mother Ever..!" Is that an admission...? Or a Guilt Trip../ Freud would have a field day.

Great job Patrick! I wish these things weren't so true for people. 😢

Brilliant and spot-on. All too true. Thank you.

“Just ignore him” for the difficult/abusive brother.

Okay...hilarious 😂 I think the dysfunction in my family helped me develop a sarcastic yet good sense of humor and this is not lost on me, Patrick...too funny!

Shame is feeling that your every action is more likely to have a negative impact on others than a positive one, or even a neutral one.

Awesome so accurate!

In a way I'm sad that this is so spot on accurate. Sorry you've had to go through it too Patrick.

Special Guest “You should have never been born!”

This video is exactly what I'm trying to work through right now. My shame triggers are around 1) Needing or wanting help 2) Needing or wanting emotional support, validation, or encouragement 3) Body and gender shame

There should be another special guest,” Well, you were such a horrible child.” 😶

😂😂😂😂❤So true!!

That part where they take all the credit for anything you've ever done right!

👏👏👏awesome Patrick ❤!

These are such a blessing. Thank you.

I don't tell jokes because no one ever thinks they are funny. I also don't start conversations because people are never interested in the same things as i am. I do talk with people but since they don't ever talk about interesting things i never form relationships.

Your the best Patrick ❤and Community

Omg lololol this is amazing!!!!! Thank you 🎉❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes, feedback at work from boss or co-workers is quite difficult when it’s negative. I feel combative and it’s definitely a trigger, for sure.

When my dad comes down on me in an irritable and anxious way!

"Second child syndrome". I was given the message my entire young life that every fault, difference, lack of accomplishment, etc was a result of second child syndrome. My older sister was golden and I acted out in retaliation, now realizing that was how I'd been told to identify. In comparison, my older sister was pressured to always be better, smarter, more disciplined, etc. Ironically, 20-30 years later, my sister and I have grown so much closer, we're both no contact with dad, and look back to realize how much our parents (unintentionally) instilled that we were in competition with each other, and it suppressed us finding out actual-selves. Therapy, distance from toxic family and self discovery is an ironic thing, given childhood messages.

Thank you, Patrick. This is one of the most articulate descriptions of how childhood trauma shapes the personality through its own defense mechanisms. I am a therapist and a person who went through trauma, and highly identified with The Ghost and The Darkness. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I wanted this to be so much darker lol

It's the facial expression that seemed to match the toxic tropes, for me😂. But really 😢
