forum Does everyone here have a tragic backstory or...

I feel like I'm the only person here who had a "normal" upbringing. Are there any others on Notebook with a "normal" upbringing. (sorry if I sound rude)

Yeah I don't really have a tragic backstory either

Honestly it's kinda hard to say for me, my family is pretty standard (I think), but some pretty messed up shite happened to us while I was growing up. It never really obviously affected me in anyway 'cause I didn't even know what was happening at the time. Either way, I wouldn't call it tragic or anything, and I feel pretty average. My dad can be pretty emotionally abusive sometimes and drinks a lot, but I still consider myself to be on good terms with him because I stopped caring as much about some of the things he would say and he's generally super supportive. All of my family is, actually, so I'm hella lucky in those regards.

What does one consider tragic?

Yeah I think I grew up pretty normally. I’ve always been kinda sheltered and lonely, that’s all

What does one consider tragic?

idk honestly, some people here just seem so sad and lost, and I wish I could help them. (again sorry if I sound rude)

my parents got divorced when i was 4 and then my dad killed himself, mom got remarried and had another kid all in the span of about 2 years, but i wouldn’t say i grew up traumatized or whatever LMAO
i guess you could say that’s a tragic backstory?? but like personally i’m all good
i have had a normal upbringing besides that
stepdad is amazing and love my lil brother
think about dead dad maybe 2-5 times a year??
so, bad stuff happened, but it didn’t really affect me

Besides, my excessive depression, loneliness, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and awkward need to be held when I'm crying. My upbringing was definitely normal. ; - ;

My upbringing was honestly pretty 'tragic' (abusive, surrounded by addiction, dude with gun & knife tries to get into my school lmao, had a gun pulled on me when I was in fifth grade, etc etc etc) but if you respect my triggers and ignore the part about that police killing my dad after he stabbed his girlfriend a bunch of times and then went after one of the officers, I think I'm pretty normal

Aside from a school shooter being the closest I've gotten to a relationship and me not being cishet I had a pretty normal upbringing

My life is fairly normal. I just have a shit ton of mental and personality issues chronic depression, imposter syndrome, insomnia, self-hate, extreme impulsiveness, etc… My parents are still together, I've never had anyone important to me die, I haven't had any extreme accidents or anything. So yeah, fairly normal.

Nope, I'm good. My """dad""" ran away after finding out mom was pregnant with me but that's about it

That's the backstory tho. Now, recent events, on the other hand, well…
…I lost a friend to suicide.

Yes
