@@katykatforeverxYea he's weird tbh. I don't think this man had a normal childhood. He's clearly a red flag and no offense to his fans, But his response were somewhat childly. I couldn't say childish. It was that he is so naive. I've been theough a lot of trauma and it got me to being the most naive in the room and i usually say dumb decisions. And I think he have one and from all of his interviews, he seems to be hiding something that he was ashamed of about him. When you watched some of his interviews, some were just simple questions but he seemed defensive. It wasn't very easy to noticed bc they're subliminals. You'll just feel off something about it.

[@kienischneider9862]

​@creepersplaylist Yeah, I'm not interested in judging him but saying you wish you had a messed up childhood is an odd, defensive thing to say. Maybe he really did think he had a good childhood. Or maybe it was so messed up he just wants to hide it and pretend.

[@jshrimpson]

often when children/young teens “wish” they had trauma or abuse it is a sign of emotional distress (ex. depression, anxiety) in other words, they might wish their lives reflected the emotions inside their head, thinking that would make said emotions “valid”

[@melliemu123]

You beat me to it. Sometimes wishing you had something "worse" than what you had growing up is a sign that you might have been actually severely invalidated or manipulated, leading you to wish you had more justification for the distress.

[@neranderthal]

Deep! I also think it’s a byproduct of societies romanticisation of the “tortured artist”. The belief that brilliance comes from a turbulent past.

[@yashminarannee1927]

Yes very good analysis ! Many child therapists than I met talked about that precisely

[@noeliaurquizo4620]

[@angelafeldman5903]

Only a person whos never been abused would say that. No you wouldn't. Not at all.

[@jollyquinn430]

Thats not true. Many people say that. It's a sign for depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. Because people think that something even worse would validate their feelings. Without it, they feel like they're overreacting. And it doesn't make sense. So they wish for abuse to make their feelings make sense.

[@Barkbite9]

Not always... I was badly abused and traumatized as a child but told it was normal, as many children are. I spent my childhood and teen years wishing I had been "abused" because then my suffering would be noticed, because the environment I was in either ignored my pain or told me it was my weakness that was at fault. I think that kind of "invisible" trauma from normalized abuse is very very common in Irish families and in Catholic schools. Cillian went to a school that is infamous for harsh discipline and he reportedly got in trouble a lot, so I can't imagine he escaped unscathed. He probably just thinks it's normal and no big deal because no one around him reacted to it.

He wanted that roughness and edginess rockstars have because of bad upbringing but he knew he lacked it because his education and upbringing were normal, he had nothing to complain or something to draw the rough and edgy essence of a rocker’s character, and he is talking how he thought when was a young lad not him as he is today.

I also think it depends on how religious u are cause I’m not.
