In bold those traits which affected me the most:
Positive: optimistic, upbeat, hardworking, successful, dedicated, cool, reliable, good-looking, loving, funny, enthusiastic, energetic, calming, gentle, relaxed/relaxing, good with touch
Negative: busy/rarely home, overprotective, smothering, mood swings, judgmental, unappreciative, critical, vain/shallow, distant, self-absorbed, unreliable
What I wanted most as a child and didn't get was: being appreciated, understood and valued for who I truly am. Being "seen" and loved for my true being.
As a child, I had these negative feelings over and over again: feeling alone, misunderstood; sadness, despair; feeling unheard or unappreciated
It is a quite profound revelation ... that I used to feel "unheard", given I would actually not speak (enough) as a young child.
