is it normal?
does anyone's mom watches them sleeping for more than 5 minutes? i'm very paranoiac person so everytime she does that i can feel it she keep starring at me and i don't understand why she's doing this. i used to close the door few years ago but lately i started to feel claustrophobic and kept the door open. even though when i need privacy and close the door,i can sense my mom listening and trying to figure out what i am doing. i caught her more than one time she trying to see me from key hole. because of that i can't call my friends when i'm at home because she gonna tell her relatives or my brother idrk.(i don't really have any secretive things even if i want to though) she keep taking pictures of me when i'm not looking or napping then send it to her friends. i understand if i were still toddler but i'm adult and it's making me very uncomfortable since teenager years. i don't usually take pictures of myself and avoid appearing in pictures so maybe that's why but i'd be more okay with it if she send it to my dad or brother not her friends that i don't know. she keeps barging in when i'm showering too. (YES SHE KNOWS I'M SHOWERING) i tried to talk about this calmy YEARS ago but since she kept doing it i can't control my anger and keep yelling at her. i feel deeply humiliated when she does all kind of things i don't know if this sounds logical. i'm very detached and distant person since childhood so maybe it's strange to me but plz confirm that i'm not crazy lmfao. if ''I'' have problem instead of talking to ME she keep telling my brother or friends that has nothing to do with. i'm far from home right now but i feel really exhausted when this shit keeps happening everyday when i got back home.
I literally do some of this to my mom sometimes due to paranoia but like being fr for a moment you should tell her that it makes you extremely uncomfortable that she does all those things and if she still does even after that idk do something drastic? 2 reply
Is it normal? No. Is it common? Yes! Especially if you’re Asian. Most Asian moms are like that, they don’t really understand what personal space is. Try telling her that you feel uncomfortable, and if she still doesn’t listen, lash out or something so she realizes how you actually feel about it. 2 reply
I’ve seen a lot of comments here mentioning Asian culture and as someone who’s lived in Asia, is asian, yes being close to a family member is normal. We really don’t care whether we see you showering or butt ass naked cause as long as you’re family and you’re the same gender as us, were kind of used to it. HOWEVER, watching your kid sleep...... reply
What is your cultural background? I find Asian moms (especially Filipinos) tend to be really clingy, but I don't tend to see it with American moms. My mom (American) was rather detached but I think that was because she was dealing with physical and mental health problems.
Regardless, work on enforcing boundaries. Whenever she is pushing or crossin...... 1 reply
