Being asked to care about EVERYTHING was a requirement in my childhood days. While some had to do with 'affectionate' caring, like caring for animals and other people, the majority was centered on 'image' caring. So here I am, raised to be sensitive to words, looks, clothing choice, cleanliness and such, and NOW I'm being told (in a yelling manner) to not be so sensitive to things happening around me.
From the time I was younger to where my family stands today, there has been a HUGE shift. Everything I was brought up to do and think isn't valid any longer. It's one thing to become an adult and learn new tricks, but it is entirely frustrating to have the adults that raised you with one set of ideas tell you those same ideas are no longer any good.
I couldn't disagree more.
