I'll like to make my story short as possible without much introduction tho. And also a lesson parents/ new couples should learn from my ordeal, Pls read to the end.

Alright So I'm the only male born of my parent among 4 girls, i also happen to be the last born at it. my problem started when growing up, cause my parent aged bfr getting a Male child which was my Dad and his parent cravings, I was pampered when growing up such that my parents would never watch me do stressful things, dictate when I go out and who I moved out with (My mum's own was even worse cause when growing up, if I want to go out, she'll always send me back inside) even during secondary school they had to get a school very close to our house. my sisters were only the ones that would go to mum's shop and make sales while mum would either stay with me at home or if I eventually go the shop sef I'll always sit and just watch. Literally, I'll say I was denied the right to be exposed to lotta things and real issues about life.

And cause I was not the sociable type cause I'll literally stay at home, watch movies, eat and my movements limited, I was exposed to pornography and masturbation at a very young age and I battled that bad habit thr my University days (Did I say my Parents also dictated the University I went to cause it was close to our House to and any small riot in school then the next hour they'll come and pick me back home till every thing dies down)

So guys over time, I've grown to be this boring guy who is shy, timid, suffering from low self esteem and can't give vibe even when gisting with my fellow guys, in which most of them just relegate me to this small boy level. Did I also say I've never had a Girlfriend all my life cause the truth is ion always know what to say or how to maintain talking vibe. At first I decide not to care and just always console myself with I was created like that and just continue my boring life, it has now gotten to the point I'm not rated in anything at all, most people just make friends with me cause of what they can gain from me, I'm not even good in anything, I can't speak clearly, I'm kinda literally mentally dumb and ion see me useful for anyone or anything, perhaps maybe God only, No business sense, no work skill or experience, no trade experiences to

I'm currently a Corp member serving and before then I rebelled against my parent cause they wanted to dictate the state I serve which is our state of residence so I go to my ppa from home but I told them No and even got to a fight to my Dad cause of this issue and we din speak for like 2weeks, he eventually called me and we settled. But the issue now is guys I've got less than two months left for my POP for service and you don't expect me to return home useless to my parent house again?? Tho sincerely thr my service year, I din touch my allowee so I've saved up to 270k so far. the issue is ask me what I want to do with the money? I've got no idea, what business sense or idea? Nothing is coming to my head, infact I don't know. The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe embarassed

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me embarassed


Yes you have self esteem issues, look for friends, interact more but in all u do, no go join cult oh, thank God you have not joined yet.

If you are good with your education, why not pick a masters form with the University in your PPA state, get a small job there and continue from there.

Can therapy work for me?? isn't it to late at 24years of age?? I just finished calling mum now and accused her of everything that has happened to me, I told her I don't want to hear from her, not anytime soon. I've tried calling my Dad to but his line is switch off, I just wanna cut both of them off, They put me in this mess that I have to fight alone now embarassed

I don’t have much to say to you but please don’t cut off your parents, I’m really begging you. And don’t try to blame your parents for your predicaments.

At this point what you need to do is take responsibility of your life, sit down and take some time to think about what you really wanna do and achieve.

If you don’t want to go back home, you can talk to one of your friends whom you can stay with. Enroll in skill acquisition, you can get a laptop from your savings, go online and enroll for courses that will develop you.

I’m an introvert like you too, I learnt programming online and currently work as a software engineer here in Lagos. You don’t have excuses o.

Lastly please don’t fight with your parent or try to stay away from them. Omo you go regret am.

That’s all.

Bro...truth was that your parents ain't to be blame in all of this, yes they made decisions on your behalf, but you failed to capitalise on the fact life presented you with a soft landing...

There are many kids like you, caged and somehow protected from the outside world, but they made use of there introverted nature to read books and learn so many positive things on the net, my wonderful friends Sani, Gideon and Ice comes to mind, these guys are extremely good with computers and programming currently outside Nigeria racking thousands of dollars at will, I knew the term Bitcoin from Gideon far back in 2010, but from my understanding of your post, you ventured into pornography and masturbation (The negative side) and yet you went ahead blaming your parents, Lol... that's laughable, perhaps you could have been a drug addicts, or A cultists or a chronic chainsmoker without their tutelage and close marking!!

Well... At 24years, you are still fresh and young to readjust your live, at 24 some people are still looking for admission into the university but your case is different, so it's time to restrategize and stop the blame game...Iife still has a lot of goodies to offer you, Good luck bro...!!

If you blame your parents for trying to be the best they can for you,all those love just to see their only boy making them proud someday and this is how you plan paying them back?
Many of us didn't have the luxury of growing up with our parents,their are orphans out there who broke all odds to be great.
My friend please for your own interest man up and be a man,your parents have lived their live s trying to love you, please live your life also and be a man.and mind you, there's no time to blame games,you still have to pay them back with so much more love at their old age.

24 is more than enough time to reinvent urself. Parents can be tough but you need to push the boundaries.

Also u can’t depend on them, as long as you depend on them for money you will continue to live in their shadow.

Part of the problem is they don’t trust you. You need to begin to show initiative

Stop blaming your parents. I don't see anything wrong with you. Be grateful & thankful that they are alive and able to cater and provide for your needs all these years. You even made it to University/Polytechnic and finished and now doing NYSC. This is not a good way to pay them back bro... You can do more and be more. You are a fucking man! A grown one!.
Your parent love you I can only blame them for being too soft & tender on you.
People have real problems out there in the real world. If this is your problem then you should be very grateful.

I swear with my strength that there is nothing wrong with you

You are just ok and the problem you had was that, you did not have the opportunity to do naughty things your mate did at your age then

Stop blaming your parents, they did nothing wrong to guide you up to this level of your life

Stop talking things that will trigger there BP pls

Now back to you, you still have to go back home after service, seat with your parents tell them how you feel and what plans you have and how they can join hands to support you

Your mother must have gone through difficult challenges before she gave birth to you, after four girls, so don't you know that you are the apple of her eyes

If you go ahead to torment your parents, your senior sisters will make life harder for you

So calm down and plan your future

You you think the protection your parents gave you destroyed your life

Pray for an only son and then give him all the freedom he wants and watch how you may be loosing every single thing about him

If you think you want to commit suicide because you feel you are not happy, you will just die for nothing

As far as am Concern, you are OK and still within the success of your mates

mediclife1987:



Bro I was just and still like you.


I almost committed suicide 27th of April, 2017 when I got angry and left he same Mili you want to join.


That would be like the 10th job I'd been frustrated out of since I started working. I felt there was no one in this world that could be as worse as I am.


I was lying on the sofa choosing whether to slash my wrist or hang myself but I started seeing like a vision of those that always discouraged me, tell me my nature would never make me amount to anything in life. This was while I was in medical school oh. One even said he doesn't see me ever becoming a Medical Doctor, cos my nature would never make me succeed in life. Another said he's never seen someone as Asocial in his whole life before.


I was already contemplating suicide even after I'd already become a Medical Doctor and working oh, cos all the stuffs my friends used to discourage me then we're now manifesting in real life.


I saw them in that vision laughing at me and taunting me, telling me they told me I'll never amount to anything in life, and now I can see I'm about to take my own life. I also saw my late mother shedding tears about what I was about to do.


I decided to change my mind and chose to live, just to spite those laughing at me, and make it at all costs.


My personality has made me miss a lot of opportunities in life, I just clocked 35years old on the 31st of August, but don't even think ANY woman on earth even reason sey I dey exist sef.


I now say yes sir for my own juniors that I'm old enough to almost be their uncles.


I have to overdo work because I don't have any connection to keep me afloat should things go haywire.


I beg people for money occasionally on this forum despite being a medical doctor but no one understands my travails, some insult me, some say I'm a scammer that a Medical Doctor can never beg.


All in all, I've vowed that except I die by someone or something else's hand, but me I no go ever take my own life.

It has made me take crazy risks to the North (currently in Zamfara State)in search of greener pastures when Lagos no be am again, but as I said, I rather die from the shot of a gun, than die of hunger of Kee myself. In other words, I rather die than commit suicide.


Seeing this your writeup just makes tears wells up in my eyes honestly. It cancels the illusion in my head that I'm a special kind of a worse breed.


Now I know sey person sef dey like me, so I now have the strength to keep pushing on.

Baba me I don sign patapata...

Please , stop worrying about all this because I used to be like you before but now now am far better than the so call nomal growing up children.

Points

I. first, u are not the only person that is depressed in in this country especially within your age group. Google it. 18 to 29.

2.You sound like a decent person and most of the reasonable decent people we have find in this country find it very had to blend in with most people in this country. Why, because their way of thinking is different with yours. They are full of envy, materialist world, emotional black mail e.t.c.

3. The way you mentioned that you save some money, believe me most of them no matter how much they earn they can't save a single Kobo or help others like the way u do and even though they we rised in a harsh or less privilege or whatever family.

4. The issue of girls or been introvert is not a big deal because once you have your own family, all this will be water under bride. You will have your own world ....like me my wife and my kids are my best friends.

5. Ignore Nigerian girl because majority of them are useless.

6. Concerning porn, Most people watch it but try and limited it.

7. Stop fighting and bleming your inocent parents because you might regret it later.

If there is one thing I picked from the whole explanation you made is that you are self-aware and conscious of your current state. That is a positive side of helping yourself out.
The truth remains that you are no longer a kid and it's high time you decide to create a meaningful life for yourself. I will employ you to seek the help of a therapist if you can afford one or just take a bold step to turn a new leaf. You can get this done by constantly believing in your potential and ability and never looking down on yourself. You are not too old, not young to learn a skill. Engage in activities that will promote your well-being and confidence and never believe that you are not old enough to take decisions for yourself.

Finally, your parents are not the cause of your current state of mind. You are only trying to project your shortcomings and backdrops to them and don't want to blame yourself. The first bold step is being a man of yourself. Man up bro.

It is well.

All i see here is an entitled little brat who rather will take responsibility for himself look for someone to blame for his life misery. Maybe or not, but you will come to understand later in life that your parent did what they did for you out of love and many kids are wishing their parents put more attention on them. Instead of you when you were at home to get focused learning valuable things online, reading books, expanding your horizon but you decided to take porn and masturbation as a brother you did not have.

Were your parents responsible for that too? Your parent no even do reach my own sef but i do not hate them, rather i look at the social deficiencies i have and try to figure out ways to inprove them. The first serious GF i had was when i was 29years old, even when i dey work my mother told me she no wan see girl for her house with me, i let it be. I can talk to any girl i want to because i know my self worth, this is something you will have to learn on your own.

You are just a lazy minded being naturally but blamed your parents for your behavior. You will need to change your mentality first before real progress can cone to your life. People like you are disasters waiting to happen in the social sphere. Smh.

I'll like to make my story short as possible without much introduction tho. And also a lesson parents/ new couples should learn from my ordeal, Pls read to the end.

Alright So I'm the only male born of my parent among 4 girls, i also happen to be the last born at it. my problem started when growing up, cause my parent aged bfr getting a Male child which was my Dad and his parent cravings, I was pampered when growing up such that my parents would never watch me do stressful things, dictate when I go out and who I moved out with (My mum's own was even worse cause when growing up, if I want to go out, she'll always send me back inside) even during secondary school they had to get a school very close to our house. my sisters were only the ones that would go to mum's shop and make sales while mum would either stay with me at home or if I eventually go the shop sef I'll always sit and just watch. Literally, I'll say I was denied the right to be exposed to lotta things and real issues about life.

And cause I was not the sociable type cause I'll literally stay at home, watch movies, eat and my movements limited, I was exposed to pornography and masturbation at a very young age and I battled that bad habit thr my University days (Did I say my Parents also dictated the University I went to cause it was close to our House to and any small riot in school then the next hour they'll come and pick me back home till every thing dies down)

So guys over time, I've grown to be this boring guy who is shy, timid, suffering from low self esteem and can't give vibe even when gisting with my fellow guys, in which most of them just relegate me to this small boy level. Did I also say I've never had a Girlfriend all my life cause the truth is ion always know what to say or how to maintain talking vibe. At first I decide not to care and just always console myself with I was created like that and just continue my boring life, it has now gotten to the point I'm not rated in anything at all, most people just make friends with me cause of what they can gain from me, I'm not even good in anything, I can't speak clearly, I'm kinda literally mentally dumb and ion see me useful for anyone or anything, perhaps maybe God only, No business sense, no work skill or experience, no trade experiences to

I'm currently a Corp member serving and before then I rebelled against my parent cause they wanted to dictate the state I serve which is our state of residence so I go to my ppa from home but I told them No and even got to a fight to my Dad cause of this issue and we din speak for like 2weeks, he eventually called me and we settled. But the issue now is guys I've got less than two months left for my POP for service and you don't expect me to return home useless to my parent house again?? Tho sincerely thr my service year, I din touch my allowee so I've saved up to 270k so far. the issue is ask me what I want to do with the money? I've got no idea, what business sense or idea? Nothing is coming to my head, infact I don't know. The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe embarassed

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me embarassed

Nothing is wrong with you! See yourself as unique in your own way! Stop comparing yourself or personality with others. Find your own tune. You can be anything you choose to be, believe me I am talking from experience. Just embrace the good traits/ personality you have and find ways to make them work for you.

After spending time trying to encourage and advise OP it is obvious some things are amiss and not adding up. Judging by the profile of the OP he did his NYSC in Bauchi state between 2020 and 2021 yet he's claiming he has 2months to end of service. Why are some people like this?

Are you always this stupid?

Michelle70:
It was painful reading this.
You are just an unfortunate guy who was bullied into being timid by the same people that were suppose to help build ur self esteem

Parents should learn that their actions and inactions have consequences that may affect the life of their children.

I dont know what to say to advice u but let me call mods to help u seek more help

Re: My Parents Destroyed My Life In Guise Of Love, I'm Now Depressed Daily by WatermelonSugar: 5:49am On Sep 14, 2022
Hi Ablemed,

I can partly relate to how you feel because I am the only daughter and I faced similar restrictions, even though I oppose them with a bit of coconut headism.

Like someone said easier, you're aware of your problem and that's a great step to finding your solution.

I will recommend three things:
1) Joining the right communities. In your quest to meet people, you may end up meeting terrible people who may try to solve your problem in the wrong way. I highly recommend Twenties Tribe (check them on Instagram). If you're a Christian, you can join a local youth-centric church assembly so you can expose yourself to other youths and improve your social skills.

2) Read books on people interaction, communication, and networking, and intentionally try to practice everything you wil learn there. You can watch videos or listen to podcasts if it works better for you. You can practice them by attending networking events and other cool events.

3) If you're a Christian, I'll advise you back up these works with prayer. God sees what's going on, He will help you on this journey.

PS : HAVING A GIRLFRIEND WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM!!

What you need to learn is to build good platonic and professional relationship, not a romantic relationship. Don't let anyone deceive you.
Besides, it's not a crime if you have never been in a relationship at 24, you still have years ahead of you.

Also, you can decide to learn one or two Digital/tech skills that you resonate with.

Love and e-hug.
