This is actually a coping mechanism/survival tactic for controlling or NPD type of parents. & there are energies that will run much deeper with the need to feel external energies like “reading face expressions” = avoiding conflict by fake pleasing on exterior while still allowing the inner self to be authentic. Without being seen. & I honestly wish I had the knowledge of this while growing up; as it would have saved me a lot of confrontations: since I for all my life ; if once had enough and felt my light was being dimmed intentionally or unreasonably controlled; to intentionally and severely beaten; could not hold back rebelling. In fact I first warned I will hit back & did hit back. & retaliate. (In a less refined way than I do now; walk away; unbothered and unscathed. Peacefully.) & from that moment I was never hit again.

Glad and proud to have a parents who are strict and cool at the same time. My dad unfortunately passed away last year. However, my mother, being a strong woman always faced everything that comes in our way, whether it's happiness and sadness or that seems like unbearable struggles and obstacles. My parents gave us freedom but they teach us how to use it and restricted us when needed. I can confidently say my mother knows me more than I know myself. I shared her almost all my secrets till this day, of course they're some secrets which are meant to be kept with myself but they're not that much of a big deal. I'm glad to have parents whom I can share most of my bigger and which seems like unsolvable issues. If I'm not sharing them my problems, then it's most likely because I wanted to deal with myself, cause I don't want to bother them everytime even tho they told me to always told them if I have problems.

As an Asian person with a strict and abusive father, yes. I can agree. I even learned his schedule and how to make him feel better by brewing a tea that he likes with the perfect amount of sugar. Edit: Alright, so. One of the comments said to call the cops. I wish it was that easy tbh, if the government actually cared and my circumstances were fortunate, but it wasn't. Although I did later call the cops at the age of 15. On November 16th(the same date of my birthday, but my birth month was in December), he took his own life scratched and idek what he did, at his own intestine on the sofa in the living room, he bled to death and was found during midnight. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I'm not sure what the cause was, but he had to have a colostomy bag for all I know. I'm not making excuses, I just want to get it out there. You might not be experiencing this sort of environment or lifestyle. Selfishly speaking from my own experience, for 15 years of torment has shaped me into the kind of person I am not proud of, I had times I despice how similar of a behavior i have to the very man that implanted these unnecessary feelings, and thoughts onto me. And having his corpse smiling after he selfishly took his own life in peace, leaving us helpless with nothing but trauma and 30k debt. I don't blame you. I was a poor kid with a strict, abusive, and possessive dad who was the only man in the house with a helpless wife and 3 punching bag daughters. None of us own a phone, and neither do we have a home phone installed. Also, I live in Malaysia. I wish the government was very attentive and considerate of these issues, but no. They call these minor issues. It's not criminally related to the law. Well, unless you're being robbed or you're rich or being m*rdered anything to the extreme, sure they'll take serious action. But shit, I live in Asia. Do you know what they say and do? They'll turn a blind eye with a deaf ear and say, "It's just what a parent should do to lecture and discipline their kid, nothing wrong with that."

Listen, when your not 18 and you live in your parents house, they are your parents and there is rules that shouldn’t be unreasonable and there shouldn’t be unrealistic expectations for our children. Being strict is considered what precisely? Asking you to do what your suppose to? Assisting with chores? Having a bedtime? Having consequences for poor decisions because when you turn 18 your considered an adult and it’s no longer go to your room, it’s go to your jail cell. It’s called structure and learning skills and your parents should be with you each step of the way and work alongside you and be present in your good and bad times and know.. your human and should welcome teachable moments but ensure the young you raise are aware first time is a mistake second time is a choice. There’s a difference in being strict and a difference in being a lazy not present parent. Kudos to the parents that have structure, stability, expectations, equal respect and rules in their household for their children as some do not.

@@vivalaohla2480 thats when you have good parents. im talking about parents that leave their eldest to cook clean and look after younger siblings like they are the parent whilst simutaneosly not trusting them with basic stuff like going out with friends without dying

[@mck7067]

​@@vivalaohla2480We are talking about abusive parents. Control freaks who are obsessed with hierarchy and punishments. Parents who view their children as their properties. Don't play dumb. And if you are a 'strict parent', either apologize to your children or leave them alone. They would be so much better off without you.

[@I_d0ntKn0w_H0w]

I learned these things from having strict parents and now I feel like a superhero for some reason- 😭

[@SanayAnacleto]

OMGGG! FRR I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED FAKE SLEEPING!☺️😋✌️

[@TundraAndAce]

I've been at the point of hearing footsteps on carpet outside my door since 10 years old.

[@Loravibin]

same here ✋

[@1189wesley]

bro strict parents make the naughtiest kids I FRICKIN LOVE IT

[@laceyparrett1261]

do you love it because of how ironic it is

[@yoyoya7084]

The footsteps...🙂🙂🙂

[@ucchilds8223]

I’m 40 years old and I still can’t throw off all these behaviors. Sorry you’ve got such strict parents, kid. You really deserve better. This shit is going to stick with you for life. Let it make you a compassionate person. Therapy is a great resource to combat the imposter syndrome you’re gonna develop thanks to them - if you haven’t yet.

[@CulknP]

I recognize different footsteps of family members, the way the door sounds when different family membets open it, heck, even which car they're using 😅

[@Kraken_555]

Yeah!!! All both parts is about me and my brothers, everything! We have a chill mom, but dad... He often asks when you go to the toilet, where did you go. When you are sitting in another room, where are you. When you are just relaxing, he says: "What can I think of for you to do around the house" etc.

[@prernapanaskar5075]

So true, after a few years anything they say just stops affecting us, and we are just like listen from one ear and put from other with a guilty dace and zero regret in heart

[@haven2586]

ya it kind of makes you (as in a general you) a worse human and it makes me sad :( i also have strict parents and i just keep apologizing when they yell at me but i don’t mean it or know what im sorry for, i just want them to stop being angry

[@prernapanaskar5075]

@haven2586 And being strict is also not a problem but they have serious anger issues like I don't do any stuff the kids my age do, I am 17 and all I do is be at home and study and still my parents will find a way to shout at me like literally over something like I have kept 5 books on the table my mom seriously shouted at me for this, saying I was lazy to put the other books back in cupboard and now I am creating a mess. I just got up and kept those 4 books in cupboard, said nothing and then my mom started shouting at me for having an attitude. I am just done with them.

[@KalebChase-n1u]

I relate almost completely to this, other than the last one, I couldn't do that. I get flustered when I get in trouble at all, wether I actually should be in trouble or not. That means that I would get in trouble for things I didn't do, and then be accused of lying, because they can "See it in my face."

[@mysterious.sp4]

Bro this is so relatable 💔

[@macielou-d06]

same pfp!!!!

[@mysterious.sp4]

@macielou-d06 aaahh we r twins 💖💖

[@Your_Faceless_Cosplayer666]

For anyone wondering what the song is, it's " SATAN WAS A BABY BOOMER"

[@Moonwatcher07]

We relate to this so much also don’t forget the you can easily change emotions or turn them off or fake emotions We can do all of these Also to add on having strict parents we learned to silently walk

[@Raincloud1125]

IKR we would be great actors tbh but our parents just cant tell

[@Moonwatcher07]

@ same here our parents never can tell

[@FireShark-cw8qn]

T h this is so relatable, I learned every single thing you just said, it's pretty easy and a good trick to use when you get used to it😅

[@OreoBrown-tn3by]

Bro this just unlocked so many childhood memories and why where they so on point?!😂😂😭🤚

[@caelijackson-franklin1340]

Same with abusive people 😅 my grandmother and her second husband adopted while my mom was in a coma, and after she woke up they wouldn't give me back because they found out how much money they were getting 😒

[@Ali-PaWs]

I can’t believe how relatable this is also you are SO pretty❤

[@Hanan6h28]

THAT IS LITERALLY MEE😭😭🤚🏼

[@BartlettOhana-e2j]

The recognizing them from their footsteps is so REAL

[@DevyaniBalajhiPothraj]

Ikrr

[@Xerochecksout]

FR you can also guess whose footsteps they are, so handy😭

[@abhipsha9207]

The footsteps thing is so real. I can tell who it is just by hearing their footsteps. Lol.

[@bangtanlover3448]

I don't have one but But i could get it when im in trouble soooo. Its relatable 😅the footsteps and that good hearing sense is just superpowers 😎😎😎

[@Therian-Paw3]

I don't have strict parents. But I know how to do all of this. I pay attention to everything ❤

[@MilaSquad]

Remembering the exact position is so true Btw I love ur makeup

[@Shaiiii11]

So true especially the phone one for me😭 (yes I liked my own comment so I won’t feel alone😊)

[@vikingraideresports5722]

Strictness is Ok But never ever allow anyone to mess with your mental health This short made me remember the good ol days of my rebellion 😂❤

[@mck7067]

Having structure within the household is okay. Treating children as if you own them is not okay. Treat humans like humans!

[@Have_you_ever_tried_this_one]

I know all of these but my favorite one is sensing when they're close by. I just get this feeling and I was never wrong. I also recognize all the foot steps in our family but my mom's is the easiest one because she walks in a slow and rhythmic way.

[@raineblackstar3522]

Y'ALL I'M GOING TO BE YOUR HERO RN!!! The song is "Satan was a baby boomer"! {After an hour of searching, i found it lmao}

[@d4gg3rm0th]

LIFESAVER OMG

[@ChaosCalamityCloud]

THANK YOU

[@XKKaiXP]

THANK YOU MY HERO!!!!

[@ilikeicweam]

I’ve never had strict parents but I can tell who’s coming by their footsteps people think it’s creepy coming from me but it’s actually really helpful because if I’m home alone (and I don’t know that I’m home alone) if I hear unfamiliar footsteps it probably mean some one is trying to break in! (Thanks for ur time)

[@ninjadragon2458]

And it's even crazier when you had a room in the basement with moveable ceiling tiles.

[@PrincessCEG09]

Wtf 😂

[@ninjadragon2458]

Not kidding! You can hear them from downstairs and it would give you time to hide the game you weren't supposed to be on or turn the light off to pretend to sleep

[@Jbonvetti]

The fact that I relate to all these things and my parents are the most chill people

[@Lily-j7v]

More importantly, fake waking up

[@MikeylaGamer-k9x]

YESSSSSS I BE DOING THAT ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M STAYING UP AT NIGHT 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@sherrythanhthuy4680]

We all become sneaky with these parents😂😂

[@CZ_UnderCovers]

EXACTLY that's So relatable. Everytime when mom or dad goes over kitchen to bathroom i Will hear them like i Have superhearing And i can also recognise them by their footsteps,breathing And i Always be like ,,yes Now she Is in the kitchen, Now she Is in bathroom on toilet And Now she Is eating midnight snack And making myself coffee And Now she going to see me if I'm sleeping l,hlOoh i need to fake sleeping.😂😂😂

[@vixabintheblueberry]

Ok but actually like the fake sleeping is SO useful for sleepovers

[@RAINBOW_SHINE786]

OMG SO TRUE I LUV YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOSH 💘

[@laibaatif-z1m]

guess they become A GOOD SPY😅

[@zulaikhaimran-4-j259]

The makeup is makeuping ❤❤❤❤ slayed

[@hypreactive]

parenthood is 10× harder than teenage years i assure you and that much pressure can turn them into mindless humans, try comforting them if you can, if its going to far try seeking help or a guardian i miss them so much i wish i listened

[@Katyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Bro I don’t even have strict parents but I do this lollll ❤😂

[@mpeditorial252]

dude, I'm now such a good actor because of my parents😭

[@Raincloud1125]

SAMEEE

[@ComfortDuke]

This is so accurate. As someone who has very strict parents I do all this and more even till knowing where I’ll be when their in a particular place of the house. I’ve gone through a lot

[@moyraniedermann8878]

BRUTALISMUS 3000 MENTIONED! Officially my new fave influencer

[@anomalocorax]

oh my god i was so searching for a comment about them, it's literally my fav band in this world

[@ZhafiraStigsson]

The footsteps and fake sleeping is so relatable tho😭

[@Mehrish-z1z]

My parents are randomly checking on me in the middle of the night so i always fake sleep😂

[@xxentillvivi]

Exactly, i grew up with asian parents, i can practically fake sleep, hide things, memorize footsteps, fake innocence and hear footsteps from far and remember the exact same place of stuff, its just a thing, the fact ifake innocence a lotjust kind of turned me into a 2 faced hypocrite, i go from "ewww that band is absolutely disgusting.." to some1 and "omg i absolute love that band!!(sameband i said that i hated earlier)" to another person, im now learning how to read their faces and read them through their tone of voice. trust me, having strict parents makes u have abilities and fast reflexes..
