100% , uneducated parents are more likely to tell their children that being highly educated is a sign of arrogance or thinking your better than others

Parental envy is real. I stopped contact with my mother at 19 for this exact reason. I am also hilarious due to my trauma based dark humour 🙃

you could have a parent that says they want you to succeed and repeatedly set you up for failure.

I worked in unemployment research for a while, interviewing generationally unemployed families. The pressure to not be successful at school/in work was immense in these families, it was a real shock

yes! parental envy - in my mother's case she also despised me for 'doing better' academically than my older favourite sister. So confusing as a child. I survived by detaching emotionally

Learnt not to assert my own views because they would be sneered at and dismissed. Liking anything the parents didn’t like was automatically wrong and you were seen as difficult and strange.
