When and what made you realize that you would never be completely normal because of child neglect? What would you tell the kids from this next generation that is going through it and may not even know? What do you think can be done for them and future kids in
North-America to suffer less neglect?

When I was 8 my parents divorced.
I still don't forgive them. If you say "until death" at the wedding then you should have killed me.

how does one even know if one was neglected

tried larping as a normalfag for years during late teens/ early 20s. no matter how hard I tried I couldn't crack the code. Then I realised that normal people literally don't even try. They have an entirely different mode of being. Being raised in comfy households with loving parents made them view other people as generally good. They come into contact with others and things like anxiety and rejection aren't even remotely inside their minds. they interact with others and feel nothing but warm fuzzy feelings with the occasional period less warm feelings when they break up etc.
This in complete contrast to my disposition where I view people as generally untrustworthy and as obstacles or enemies. That need to be strategically dealt with as if each time I enter a social situation I'm in a kind of battle.
Normal people can sniff this out within the first 10 seconds of you meeting them. They have highly attuned and developed social gauges and can tell easily if you're remotely off kilter.

I got molested, abused, then neglected in that order growing up. I think you can be uniquely capable of realizing what kids might need when you think about what you never got. Barring that, it’s all common sense . Limit over-socializing influences like the Internet, encourage small community participation, treat them well and be sensitive while also holding to clearly explained rules and boundaries. Display affection, but don’t make then feel like the most important person ever.
The most vital lesson is one so many of us were denied, and that’s learning to lose. You can do everything right and still fail, and there’s no shame in it. You pick yourself back up, that’s all. I feel like I’d have been alright if someone had taught me that

I knew since I was 14 because cps took me away from my family for so. but did not realize the extent of my neglect until my boyfriend made me notice over time, my family actually did so many fucked up things and I did not know it. I would be telling a story that did not seem abnormal to me and my boyfriend would be"that is so fucked up, stop talking about your familly, im not a psychologist, you need a therapist, The shit you tell me makes me want to kill your step dad" I think you need to compare life as an adult with normal adults.

You arent a sociopath. You're just more intelligent and understand people generally suck
