The reason I'm asking this is because I don't know if I believe them. Ive had depression for the last 7 years and since I'm 25 going on 26 that's basically my entire adult life so far. But mostly all my life I've dealt with anxiety, super lower confidence, extreme lack of social skills to the point where I can't connect with people and sometimes just general anti social behavior from what I've been told. 

It's ruined my life in everyway possible. But my therapist and friends say that my parents have basically messed me up mentally and emotionally. I would like to not say so because I am an adult and a guy so I should be able to be mentally strong enough to move on no matter what. 

Because in my opinion my parents did a lot for me. I always had food. And they made sure I had clothes etc. There were a few downsides as my parents were protective so they didn't allow me to stay the night at my friends until I was a nearly a senior in high school. I also had a curfew at 8pm as well then which only was lifted after I graduated high school.

My parents pushed me to be great at everything. Including my looks as they would point out any flaw I had throughput the day like teeth not being super white or hair messy or didn't smell amazing even in public. Sports was big too. Even though after I stopped most of my family just called me a waste of size or they called me a bad return on investment.

And even as an adult they don't want me getting a job with a white population too large as they think I'll get hurt because I'm in a minority group. 

There's more to it but I don't think these things should have large impact into my adult life. And I think it's my fault that I'm not mentally stronger and fell into a 7 years major depression disorder that anti depressants can't even fix.  

Idk what to think anymore..do they have a point or am I just weak?
