I don't know if I'll ever be as close to my dad as he wants us to be.
I finally told my dad today that he scared me. That I was terrified of the thought of him yelling at me if I did something wrong. That I can't talk to an adult figure without my throat closing up and me crying. I think he understood me. We had a long talk, he reassured me. He said that he got wiser with age and now that he was older, his anger was less. He promised that he wouldn't do anything that would hurt me or make me sad. He also said that he wanted to be as close to me as friends are (Not as close as a father-child, but more of a friendship with respect). He said that I can share my secrets and talk to him anytime I want and that he'd do the same. But I'm afraid that I can never tell him all the things I did, all the things I faced and even how I identify. Even if he promised all those things, I'm scared that if I have an act that he doesn't agree with, he'll get mad again and I don't know how I'd be able to face him anymore. I'm sorry dad, I know you want to be closer to me but I don't think I could tell those secrets to anyone alive.
this feels more about execution than intent Feels like there’s more coming here.
I get the idea, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate
Trying to be fair, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why opinions are all over the place Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From a practical angle, the follow-through is what will decide this so the response doesn’t surprise me
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s the part people are stuck on Feels like there’s more coming here.
Looking at this, this feels more about execution than intent
Bluntly speaking, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do Time will tell.
this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore Others will probably see it differently.
At first glance, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s the part people are stuck on Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
Putting bias aside, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which makes the reaction pretty predictable This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.
