8 Ways Childhood Neglect Affects Your Life By

Darius Cikanavicius

~ 4 min read

Most people have experienced childhood neglect to one degree or another at some point during their lives. Of those, many don’t even recognize it as neglect or abuse because people tend to idealize their childhood upbringing or even defend child abuse in order to cope with their own unpleasant feelings.

It’s easier to recognize that there’s something wrong when you feel physical pain, for instance, when being beaten or sexually assaulted. It is much more confusing when you have an emotional need but the caregiver is unable or unwilling to recognize and meet that need.

This is especially true when you are also taught that your role is to meet the caregiver’s needs, that you are “very problematic,” or that you shouldn’t question how the caregiver treats you because you are just a child.

But childhood neglect is damaging, and a person can struggle with its effects for the rest of their adult life. So let’s take a look at eight common ways that childhood neglect impacts a person.

1. Trust issues

You learn that people are unreliable and you either always have to be on guard and expect for everyone to be potentially dangerous or you think that people will just disappoint you by rejecting, discarding, ridiculing, hurting, or using you—just like people did when you were a child.

You may have problems trusting anyone, or you may trust too quickly, even when the people in question are not trustworthy. Both are damaging.

2. Doing everything yourself

This is an extension of the first point. Since you believe you can’t trust others, the only logical conclusion that follows from it is that you can only rely on yourself.

It means that you may work extra hard, oftentimes to your own detriment, just because you think you have to do everything by yourself. Asking for help is not seen or even considered as an option.

On a psychological and emotional level it may manifest as a tendency to hide your true thoughts and feelings because they were not allowed when you were growing up. So you may think that either nobody cares about you, or, again, that people will simply hurt you if you open up.

3. Learned helplessness

Learned helplessness is a psychological phenomenon where a person has learned that they are powerless to change their circumstances because they experienced a chronic lack of control in certain scenarios. For example, if you as a child have a need and you can’t meet it by yourself, and your caregiver fails to meet it too, then you may learn several things from this experience after a while.

You may learn that your needs are unimportant (minimization). You may also learn that you shouldn’t or don’t have these needs (repression). And lastly, that you can’t do anything about your situation (false, passive acceptance).

So what happens when such a person grows up is that they are often unable to meet their own needs because they were raised to accept that they have no or very little control over their life.

4. Aimlessness, apathy, disorganization

People who were neglected as children lacked support and guidance when they needed it. Moreover, many children grow up not only being neglected but also being over-controlled.

If that was your childhood environment, then you may have problems feeling self-motivated, being organized, having a purpose, making decisions, being productive, showing initiative, or functioning in an environment that is not controlling (where people don’t tell you what to do, where you have to make your own decisions).

5. Poor emotional regulation and addiction

People who have experienced neglect often have numerous emotional problems. As children they were either forbidden to feel and express certain emotions, or they didn’t receive help and teaching in how to deal with overwhelming emotions in a healthy manner.

People from these environments don’t know how to regulate their emotions, and are therefore prone to addiction (food, substance, sex, Internet, anything really). That’s a person’s way of dealing with feeling lost, bored, or overwhelmed—essentially, with being in emotional pain.

6. Toxic shame and guilt, low self-esteem

A few of the most common emotions that people who were neglected struggle with are chronic, toxic shame and guilt. Such a person tends to blame themselves by default, oftentimes without any good reason. They also feel chronic shame and are sensitive to other people’s perceptions of them. This is closely related to the person’s sense of self-worth and self-esteem.

7. Feeling not good enough

A neglected child consciously or unconsciously thinks that the reason why their caregivers don’t pay attention to them is because they are not good enough, because there’s something wrong with them, because they are not trying hard enough, because they are fundamentally defective, and so on. As a result, the person grows up feeling not good enough.

People develop various coping mechanisms to cope with that and the feelings of chronic shame. Some become highly perfectionistic and self-critical. Others become severe people-pleasers because of learned self-erasure. Some others always try really hard and never feel good enough, and may be used by manipulative people. Others become codependent where they are needy and enmeshed with the other person. Others become highly narcissistic to compensate for a lack of attention and in order to avoid the pain that they feel if they are seen as vulnerable or inferior.

8. Self-neglect: poor self-care

What we are taught as children we tend to internalize and eventually it becomes our self-perception. Because of that, if you have been neglected you will then learn to self-neglect. Again, because of unconscious beliefs that you don’t matter, that you don’t deserve it, that nobody cares about you, that you’re a bad person, that you deserve to suffer, and so on.

People who were neglected when growing up often have problems with self-care, sometimes on a very basic level where they have an unhealthy diet, eating disorders, poor sleep regimen, a lack of exercise, unhealthy relationships, etc.

Some people who were neglected and abused in other ways even actively harm themselves: internally (via self-dialogue) or externally (physically, economically, sexually). An ultimate form of that is suicide.

Closing thoughts

Some think that if a child has had their basic needs met, then they were not neglected and had a “normal” childhood, as in, “everything was fine, just like in most families.” And while it’s true that socially these things have been normalized, a child needs much more than food, shelter, clothes, and some toys.

Inner wounds are more difficult to see because they don’t leave visible scars.

Childhood neglect can lead to severe personal and social problems, like depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety, self-harm, addiction, destructive and self-destructive behaviors, and even suicide. - Source: https://blogs.psychcentral.com/psychology-self/2018/04/8-neglect-effects/

Self Destructive Behavior Occasional self-sabotage is fairly common. We all say something from time to time that would have been better left unsaid or we accidentally polish off the whole gallon of ice cream. However, when self-sabotage becomes a pattern, it can interfere not only in your ability to perform at your best, but also in your ability to live a happy, fulfilling and productive life. Self-destructive behaviors are the life choices we make that negatively impact our minds, bodies or relationships. It is operating in such a manner that does not have our best interest at heart. It is possible that you are unaware of your self-destructive habits. It is also possible that you know you could do healthier things to feel better, but you are either too depressed to do it, too fearful to change, too comfortable or don’t quite care about the consequences in the moment. We use self-destructive behavior as coping mechanisms to survive in the moment. Consequences be damned. We take comfort where we can find it. The following are self-destructive behaviors most commonly associated with depression: • Codependency • Procrastination • Avoiding responsibility • Overeating to comfort yourself • Being overly sensitive • Social isolation • Compulsive or addictive behaviors • Poor sleep • Excessive need for recognition or approval • Excessive self sacrifice • Having abusive relationships • Hiding true feelings • Unsafe sex • Letting others run over or take advantage of you • Not allowing others to help • Neglecting your health • Not exercising • Rejecting others to avoid being rejected • Self-pity • Setting yourself up to fail • Overspending to make you feel better • Suffering in silence • Suicidal thoughts, self-harm and self-injury These behaviors not only interfere with your attempts to change, but they tend to make your problems worse. Every time you try to get control over these behaviors and fail, you have another experience that

How To Raise Your Vibration

Have you ever had one of those days, when you feel sad, lonely, afraid or even depressed for no apparent reason? If you rhetorically answered yes to that question, you may well be suffering from a low spiritual vibration. Sadly, a lot of people in society today are either spiritually lazy, unconscious or being surrounded by negativity, and this is a shame and it needs to change.

I believe everyone in this world deserves to follow their bliss and live the life of their dreams no matter what age they are whether they’re young or old. Many people are afraid of living a life that is pleasurable to them because they tell themselves that they are unworthy of being happy, to being loved by someone dear to them or even not having the belief that they can manifest their desires, hopes or dreams for the future.

These are false beliefs that are buried deep within our subconscious mind and our inner child, otherwise known as the ego. These beliefs usually stem from our childhood, when we were just making sense of how the world works while by being guided and cared for by our parents who might subconsciously let us down without being aware. This means that they might let a stranger, another family member, acquaintance, spouse, partner or friend be rude or abusive to you as a child and not say anything back to them because of their own fears of confrontation, violence, and expressing their anger inappropriately.

This makes a child feel hurt, unworthy, guilty, ashamed and frightened by the outside world as well as their inner world. Abuse such as neglect, sexual abuse, domestic violence and emotional manipulation are usually the main causes of personality disorders, dysfunctional relationships and marriages and in extreme cases criminal convictions. Take a look at emotional neglect, for example, this type of abuse in childhood could lead to developing codependency behaviours in romantic relationships, which becomes extremely damaging and toxic to both partners. Codependent people are magnets for people who are on the narcissistic spectrum to full blown narcissistic personality disorder. This type of relationship is a classic empath\narcissist toxic and dysfunctional nightmare.

Relationships like these are extremely addictive because the narcissist feels deep down inside that they’re not loved or even felt loved when they were a young child and as an adult, while the codependent partner smothers them with love and appreciation, which in hand makes the narcissist feel special, adored and feel like a king or queen leading to more dysfunctional behaviours within the two partners. Codependency on the other hand, is slightly different. These people crave validation and reassurance from their love interests, friends and family, because of feelings of inadequacy, rejection, fear and a lack of self confidence within themselves.

When a codependent person gets complimented frequently by a potential lover, they start to cling on to them and attach themselves to that particular person, before even getting to know them first causing them to becoming a victim of desperation and then eventually exposing themselves to their biggest fears of rejection and abandonment. The more a person does these behaviours, the more likely the viscous cycle will continue and cause destruction throughout their daily life. This consistently damaging cycle can lead the person into a dark, guilty, fearful and shameful place, which can develop into self-sabotage, self-pity self-mutilation, depression and even thoughts about suicide or attempted suicide.

While anger issues on the other hand, does have similar characteristics to codependency, but not entirely. These types of people seek out validation through vengeance such as someone who has been bullied at school in the past, is now using their anger and frustration as a form of tenacity and determination to become famous or highly successful to prove themselves that they are valued by society. These people male or female can also become passionate activists, politicians and protesters by using their mistreatment by others or in society by trying to bring people together to help make a change for the future so that new generations do not have to suffer like they once did.

The darker sides to anger is that it can and has been done many times throughout human history, is to use violence, weaponry, attempted murder/murder or torture to find justice for their abuse. This leads to criminal convictions and life sentences in prison or the death penalty in some countries around the world. However, this is still rare, but it can happen and possibly has happened many times. Most of the time, criminals are usually psychopaths, sociopaths or have been brought up in toxic environments whether they live in poverty or with a wealthy family. Living at low frequencies like I have explained in this post, do not serve you, the people around you or to the planet. Everyone of us here on Earth, has the right to experience miracles, joy and blessings in our lives.

You deserve to live a life that brings you abundance, prosperity, love and happiness. You are special person that has a beautiful soul and does not deserve to live in pain, suffering and feelings of worthlessness, anger, guilt, regret, narcissism or codependency. Your body is a temple, so show it love, care for it and nurture it everyday. There is only one of you living on this planet, that is how sacred and special you truly are. I will guide you now with these steps into a more fulfilling life.

Step 1: Remove limiting beliefs and let go of past hurts and trauma

You can do this by booking an appointment with a professional therapist who is trained in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) therapy, which is mainly used for people suffering from extreme phobias, anxiety, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder. NLP can also help people who have self limiting beliefs that prevent them from achieving their goals, living a happy life or having successful relationships. Hypnotherapy is also a great option for this as this also works with the subconscious mind, allowing it to let go of the beliefs that doesn’t serve in a persons life while in a deep trance like state or sleep. Hypnotherapy is very good for treating addictions and other problems as well as opening you up to new possibilities that will benefit your mind, body and spirit . There are many guided hypnosis available on YouTube if you want to learn the art of self-hypnosis or if you cannot afford to pay for continuous hypnosis sessions from a professional hypnotherapist, which can be expensive if its in a private practice.

Step 2: Practice Daily Affirmations

You can meditate each morning with daily affirmations, create a vision board in your bedroom on a wall or on your bathroom mirror. You can also write down your favourite affirmations in a notebook and carry it around with you throughout the day or repeat them silently or aloud to yourself. Doing this exercise daily will greatly improve your feelings about yourself, people around you and for the rest of your life. If you’re interested in learning more about affirmations or they work well for you, I highly recommend you reading books by Louise Hay, who sadly passed away recently. She has published numerous books about self-love, healing a broken heart and relieving symptoms of medical conditions using psychotherapy.

Step 3: Forgive those who have hurt you and yourself

Showing compassion for others and most importantly for yourself is very good for your body, mind and spirit and scientific researchers in psychology have proved it has lots of benefits, such as better heart health, stronger immunity, less inflammation, less likely to develop brain diseases and promote longevity in later life. Holding grudges for several years or even decades can increase your risk of premature death by holding on to excess stress and other negative emotions unnecessarily. This does the polar opposite of what forgiveness does and its not a pretty sight. So letting go of regret, guilt, anger and self-sabotage will help you increase your spiritual vibration. Remember that self-forgiveness and acceptance is a lifetime journey not a destination. Writing a letter to someone (not sending it to them, unless you feel that would be a better and more appropriate thing to do) telling them you’re truly sorry for what you did that upset them and indirectly asking for forgiveness. You can also write a letter to yourself apologising for making yourself feel upset. This exercise is called compassionate letter writing, taught by psychologist Professor Paul Gilbert, which is used when we need to understand ourselves or other people in times of intense emotions such as worry, guilt or anger.

Step 4: Show gratitude for life and its blessings

Being thankful, just like compassion offers us the gift of experiencing optimal health and overall happiness. Showing thanks to the little things in your life and to the world around you is one of the most precious things you can do. There are so many people in the Western world who go about their day to day lives not realising how truly lucky they are until one day something is taken way from them all of a sudden, such as losing their sight, hearing or a limb, for example. When you ask people what does gratitude mean to you and they would mostly say to you that it means saying thanks to someone who gave you a present and a card for your birthday or Christmas. This is superficial gratitude and it doesn’t last as long and only gives you temporary happiness and excitement from getting a gift. True gratitude is completely different, this is giving thanks to more meaningful things like being able to see beautiful things that the world has to offer, hearing music that moves you and having the ability to breathe in oxygen without any effort is a gift that nobody is grateful for. Being fully in the present moment and feeling grateful for being alive is the greatest gift of all.

Step 5: Surround yourself with people who give you love, joy and acceptance

Have you ever noticed that when you have been around a group of people who just drain your energy and overall well-being? I can definitely answer ‘yes’ to that question as I have crossed paths with people who are considered as ‘toxic’ and I am sure you have too. Although these people might sound bitter, pessimistic and toxic on the surface, they might actually be the most lovable without you even knowing it. It’s not the person who is toxic, but how they have psychologically processed their difficulties throughout their life and how it changed them into a completely different personality. People like this need more love in their lives, to help them show their pure heart and soul they have buried inside themselves for several years. However, there is a caveat and a catch-22 to this situation, as trying to help these people can be very difficult, confusing and downright hurtful at times, even though you had the best intentions for them.

So finding new people to connect with is a great idea, as it will open you up to new opportunities, friendships and potential relationships that could last for a lifetime. This also means that you shouldn’t avoid or not be friends with someone who might come across as negative towards you, as it will only make them be even more difficult to deal with for the next person. Just be understanding towards them with non-judgement. No one is perfect, at the end of the day and everyone has their insecurities and imperfections. Finding someone who accepts you and sees the beauty in your imperfections is a person you should never let go as they will be your best spiritual teacher you’ll ever know.

Step 6: Eat a nutritious diet and exercise regularly

Eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly is an absolute necessity if you want to live a more fulfilling life for yourself. Eating overly refined foods, sugary drinks and fast food just deplete our energy making us feel lazy, lethargic and miserable. Feeling like this constantly, encourages us to par take in emotional eating, which in turn becomes addictive behaviour and as a result we pile on the pounds uncontrollably and the cycle begins again. Whereas eating a diet rich in antioxidant foods that are found in nature that have all the nutrients we could possibly need, hence why we feel happier eating healthier foods. Exercising is just as important as being sedentary can also have an impact on your mood as it is scientifically proven to release endorphins ‘the happy hormone’ in the brain. So start eating your fruits and vegetables and get moving!

Step 7: Participate in ancient spiritual practices daily

This could be anything from yoga to tai chi whichever you prefer or enjoy doing in your leisure time. Other examples of spiritual practices include tantra, meditation, shamanism, prayer or any kind of religious practices. These spiritual practices are easily accessible and you can practice anywhere except types of tantra as some of it is based on sacred sexuality, which should only be done in privately at home. These practices raise your kundalini, chi or pranic energy, which basically means raising your vibration and awareness.

Step 8: Get a good night’s sleep

Just like nutrition and getting regular exercise is so important when you want to raise your frequency, getting a good night’s rest is just as important. How many times have you had a bad night’s sleep the night before and woke up angry and upset someone because of a lack of sleep? I have and I’m sure you have too. Lack of sleep can put you at risk of getting potentially life threatening illnesses in later life, as well as weakening you immune system and increasing inflammation. To be the healthiest you can possibly be, try to aim between getting 7-10 hours of sleep per night. If you can make this a habit, you’ll see a vast difference in your mental, physical and spiritual health!

Right that’s it for now, I hope you enjoyed this post, and I look forward to talking and sharing with you again on this journey.

Much love,

Thoughts

One minute I think I’m doing better, and the next minute I think I’ve been completely regressing.

Uni and life has taken a toll on me mentally, and my soul is left feeling so exhausted and drained.

The only thing that’s fuelling me through is my degree, my end goal and making my family and myself proud.

I’m tired of constantly having to bottle my emotions up even though I know it’s partly due to my emotional intimacy, but people around me are just so untrustworthy and indifferent.

Being afraid to be emotionally vulnerable is one matter, but trying to constantly stop yourself from venting and confiding into someone for fear that they’d be angered by you is another.

When I continually suppress myself emotionally, my emotions start churning incessantly inside of me - and all it takes is one word, one traumatic scenario to pull the trigger and my heart starts exploding and combusting into a raging, untamable inferno.

And everyone around me either becomes annoyed, irritated, disappointed or even infuriated by my outburst when my emotional state has been at a precarious breaking point for ages. They wonder what I’ve become and what brought me to a monstrous stage of instability and aggression, like what am I supposed to fucking say?

Isn’t the answer goddamn obvious?

What happens when you start filling a mug with water to its brim? It overflows.

That’s how emotions work.

I’ve been trying tirelessly to seek for help, trying my absolute best on my end to take accountability for my well-being, education and improving myself, whilst waging a never-ending uphill battle with my own mind, showing inconspicuous signs through my actions that I’m desperately needing someone to save me, screaming loudly for help internally yet no one ever seems to take me seriously.

And despite flailing my hands wildly whilst drowning mercilessly to the depths of the ocean, I still continue helping the people closest around me by ensuring that their emotional needs are met and taken care of, sometimes neglecting my own.

Because I KNOW what it’s goddamn like to have absolutely no one who understands you, I KNOW what it’s like to be cruelly invalidated and dehumanised - and that, I would never wish it upon my worst enemy either.

While I do love helping people and being there for people whom I deeply care about, I can’t always be the one attending to people’s wounds when I’m gravely emotionally injured and bruised myself.

I need to heal from the within first. As my psychologist has repeatedly reiterated, addictive/destructive behaviours develop because of an underlying unresolved emotional problem. People don’t DELIBERATELY become destructive or addicted, they’re doing it to ESCAPE from the emotional pain welling inside of them. And until the fundamental issue is FULLY treated and resolved, the destructive behaviours will NOT end, it simply manifests itself into a vicious toxic cycle.

This should be elementary knowledge, however it seems that people around me have failed to grasp such a comprehensible concept.

As much as I’m extremely independent and self-sufficient, I’m not a fucking superhuman or an octopus. I certainly can’t handle everything all at once, on my own, and neither can you. I’m only human and we’re all humans at the end of the bloody day, for God’s sake.

It’s not as though I’m shrouding from my responsibilities and being acutely unaccountable for my behaviour and feelings, I’m in fact indubitably self-aware of what’s wrong with me - the precise scars and wounds that need to be treated and attended to, not excessively prolonged.

Neither do I use my mental illnesses or trauma as an excuse to treat people like shit and constantly take it out on the people around me, or not do well in school or whatsoever. Never once have I ever allowed it to limit my potential.

I’m so ridiculously eager and ardent on getting help and breaking out of this rut that I’m stuck in and come out of rockbottom stronger, but where the fuck is help when I so direly need it?

People say that they care all the time, but do they really? Or are they simply self-centred, egoistical, selfish fuckheads?

I know I’m making progress, but it’s like the people around me are completely oblivious and ignorant to it, my hardwork and the sheer effort I’m making. Recovery and improvement isn’t linear and it definitely doesn’t happen in a day, it’s a gradual, sometimes a painfully long process rife with stumbles along the way. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

At least I’m receptive to criticisms and help. At least I’m being responsible for my actions and behaviour, at least I’m not giving up.

Babies don’t learn how to start walking in a day. People don’t recover from life-threatening illnesses in a day, or even a week or a month.

The fact that people’ve mitigated all these relevant examples is depressing but also laughable. What’s even more obnoxious is when people think this is a conscious choice made by me, as though I’ve woken up one day and told myself: “Omg I’m bored lemme start having depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder”. The fuck?

Bro it’s been 6 years of me struggling. You think you know me but you don’t. Motherfuckers think it’s a “lifestyle” and “choice” and you wonder why suicide is the number one leading cause of death in contemporary society.

Or are people going to start using my name for clout when something happens to me or when I leave? And regretting that they could’ve done more to help just by executing the bare minimum and the next thing you know, these people will start shedding crocodile tears.
