What advice would you give to someone who had virtually no childhood, meaning had no fun, no friends, etc..?

and spent most of their childhood angry at life, themselves and their parents all while not being able to do anything because of over protective parents. What could this person do to ease their pain and try to recover from the hate and trauma?What advice would you give to someone who had virtually no childhood, meaning had no fun, no friends, etc..?
Get out there, do stuff, talk to people. Only you have the power to change what you don't like about yourself. You're going to need to step out of your comfort zone and force yourself to do things, but if it's part of a goal to expand your horizons, it will be necessary.





It's not hard to make friends. If you aren't already in school, take a couple of classes at a community college for fun. You meet all sorts of people there, and very likely you will meet people who share similar interests to you. I never got along with anyone and high school and thought I was weird/different, but I met lots of people that I got along with in college.





Try out some new activities. Go bowling, enroll in a dance class, join a gym and lift weights, find somewhere to go hiking or camping. If you are near a big city, go downtown and walk around, go shopping and try on different clothes, see a concert, see a play. There are lots of things you can do, you just need to look around.What advice would you give to someone who had virtually no childhood, meaning had no fun, no friends, etc..?
I'd suggest having a very honest conversation with the people that caused those emotions to well up. Explain exactly what made/makes you angry and just how its still affecting you. Discuss ways of improving and moving forward.





If you feel the situation is serious enough, there is always the choice to deliver an ultimatum. If things can't improve, you have the option to walk away and embrace a new life. It's always hard, but it isn't impossible. If you can't make the best of what you have, look for something better, because it's your life.
Forget the past and focus on the future. Try to think of the good things in life and maybe good memories because everyone has to have some good memories. Then if you don't recover after trying that get some help. There is nothing wrong with taking medication. If you makes you feel better than ask a doctor if there is anything natural.





Even if your life had sucked in the past... try that much harder to make it worth living for.
Forget the past. Move on with the future. Take them shopping,movie,Invite her to your birthday party so she can meet some of your friends. Go for the future. If she hangs on to the past it will slow her life down and make her bitter. It will be like handing her life to the people that has made her bitter and angry. Take hold of her life and go forward make it what she wants like a, well paid job,travel. To annoy people that hold you back, is to succeed. Go for the stars
Tell them not to care about other people, tell them to live for themselves, tell them the only reason they should care about other people is if they want to make someone feel better, not because they feel they have to, live, enjoy the world, be weightless, float on the happiness of life.
Pray to get rid of the pain and hate and trauma. Then go out and do every thing you always wanted to do no matter how ridiculous it may seems. If you have kids let them explore life the way you always wanted.
They have 2 choices:


Let it make them a stronger, better person who triumphs over adversity ( as Oprah did)


OR


Let their past control their life and restrict them from taking control over the life they now have and be the underdog forever.
Over protective parents?! You think thats bad. Try parents who abandon you.





Do you have parents? Did they take care of you growing up?





DONT SPOIL IT. You'll regret it when you're old.
Sounds like me. In my case I am cutting them out of my life..As an adult you do have that choice..
