Seven Signs You Were Raised in a Dysfunctional Family

Here comes one of my Creagerisms- the simple definition of a dysfunctional family is one that discourages you from trusting your true self so you develop a false self.

What does that mean?

It means that you are entitled to be all that you are but unfortunately many people have unconscious limitations due to coming from a family that subliminally asked the person to adjust to the needs of one or more family members.

Here are seven signs that you were raised in a dysfunctional family.

  • You spend too much time trying to please others

If you ask yourself what YOU want to do for the evening, for the weekend, etc. and you have no idea what the answer to that question is, you may be spending way too much time and energy trying to make others happy or pleased. Probably your role in your family of origin was to adapt to someone else’s needs and sacrifice your own.

  • Related to number 1- you seem to feel guilty a lot.

You feel guilty about doing things for yourself, you feel guilty for your anger towards people you think you should not be and you feel guilty when others are upset. This is caused by your erroneous thinking that you are responsible for other people’s feelings. You were trained, in essence, to do what is impossible to do’ make others feel happy.

  • Also related to # 1 and 2, you tend to pick people that have trouble reciprocating.

You constantly feel that the relationship is very uneven. Of course, due to your false sense of responsibility and guilt, you stay in these uneven relationships for too long.

  • Here is an interesting one: There is either too much or not enough conflict in your intimate relationship.

If you are always bickering and arguing without any listening or resolution, you may have come from a family where people were very reactive and ineffective in soothing themselves. If you never have conflict and things are always agreeable, you may have come from a family where emotions were “swept under the carpet” and not dealt with. Both high conflict and “too low conflict” intimate relationships can be unsatisfying and draining.

  • You get really hard on yourself and tend to be perfectionistic.

That typically means that you were either overvalued or undervalued. If you were overvalued, one or both of your parents made TOO big a deal out of your accomplishments and seemed to feel even better than you about them. Or you were undervalued and were made to feel that you could never be good enough. In both cases, you haven’t learned how to feel just plain old “valued” for who you are.

  • You have a very hard time relaxing.

If you ever do stop, you may notice how uptight you are. However, often people that have this problem are in perpetual motion always having more to do on his or her to-d- list than time allows.

You are either too “laissez-faire,” letting your kids run the household or you run it like a boot camp, thereby squelching the spontaneity of your children. In this case, you probably came from a house of one extreme or the other; either that or each parent represented either extreme and did not develop a united stand.

The good news- you can create a new legacy for you and your children. I have helped thousands of people break from the self-limiting beliefs and lives that result from a dysfunctional family of origin. I invite you to contact me so that I may help.

Once you see that a family member’s guilt and anxiety is their own, it is easier to separate yourself from their expectations and just do what feels right to you. Setting your own boundaries becomes easier when you recognize that everyone’s boundaries can be different.

Reviews for "Overcoming the Challenges of Dual-Display Setups with Black Magic Monitors"

1. Jenny - 2 stars - I was very disappointed with the Black magic monitor. The image quality was not up to par, with a lot of pixelation and poor color accuracy. The build quality also seemed cheap and flimsy, with the stand being wobbly and unstable. I also had issues with the connectivity, as the monitor would often disconnect from my laptop for no apparent reason. Overall, I would not recommend the Black magic monitor.
2. Mike - 1 star - My experience with the Black magic monitor was terrible. The screen had a lot of backlight bleeding, making it very distracting and hard on the eyes. The viewing angles were also extremely narrow, making it difficult to see the screen unless you were sitting directly in front of it. Additionally, I found the controls to be unintuitive and difficult to navigate. Considering the price of the monitor, I expected much better quality and performance.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Black magic monitor but was left disappointed. The monitor had a significant amount of ghosting, making any fast-moving images look blurry and distorted. The colors were also not accurate, with a noticeable blue tint throughout. The stand was also quite bulky and took up a lot of desk space. In the end, I returned the monitor and opted for a different brand with better performance and reliability.
4. David - 2 stars - The Black magic monitor had potential, but ultimately fell short. The picture quality was average at best, with washed-out colors and a lack of depth. The monitor also had a strange yellow tint, which was very distracting. The brightness and contrast levels were not as advertised, making it difficult to see details in darker scenes. Overall, I was not impressed with the Black magic monitor and would not recommend it to others.
5. Emily - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Black magic monitor. The screen had a lot of dead pixels right out of the box, which was incredibly frustrating. The monitor also had a lot of motion blur, even on lower refresh rates. The stand was also quite flimsy and unstable, and I had to constantly readjust it to keep the monitor in place. I returned the monitor and will look for a better option elsewhere.
