Saw the INFJ subforum have one, just wondering what the other Ni's went through.

If I weren't private, I would tell you.

I can rant about this crap all day... but to make a long story short my childhood was f'ed up

[bethdeth]

Can't really remember much. I think I may have been a bit of a dork.

[L'Empereur]

Rather lackluster.

I went to school a lot. I sat in my classes and did my work and when I completed it before anyone else without trying and put my head on my desk to indicate lack of challenge / boredom I was punished and singled out.
In grade 4 I invented my own language (alphabet only) and memorized it so that I could write it out fluently and nobody could understand it except myself.
I learnt all about the 'F' word and discussed with my close friend how absurd it is that people say "Fuck you" because if fuck means sex and they're saying Sex you then it either doesn't make any sense or is a good thing because apparently sex is good.
I had friends apparently and went to their birthday parties like a normal kid. Towards the end of my primary school years I ended up disconnecting from all of my friends.
With my family I kept to myself and didn't interact with my parents or siblings from what I can remember. I played games a lot.

I've suddenly lost all motivation to continue writing about my childhood.

Maybe I'll reply with more later.

wasted my time in school and with people I barely speak to now.

My childhood was nice. I have 2 brothers and they would always push me to do stuff. I had many friends. I never had an opportunity to be alone as much as I wanted to. My parents would always force me to go outside with my brothers and play. They were good at finding some games or something to do, I was just along with the ride.

Not sure of my dads type (ISTP i think), but he always let me be me. Never forced me to do anything, and explained consequences and decision making. He believed in the philosophy of learning from experience, and life lessons.

So I played with bombs, fire, girls hearts, and video games.
sure there was the crappy stuff, but who cares.

I was possibly the most loved child ever. My mom at age 40 was a paraplegic because of the effects of polio, my dad was in his early 60's. I was doted on, coddled and had anything I wanted or asked for. I was raised as an only child as my mom risked her life to have me in the first place. I was very wanted. Because of my nature, I was never sad to be alone and had fun playing games by myself.

My dad died when I was ten and from then on, I've been a mini adult. Not that it was good or bad, it just was. It was ok, it fit as I was always more comfortable around grown ups than children.

I had a good childhood overall. I was raised however to be more risk adverse than most. I was never allowed, when small to run, etc because my parents simply could not catch me.

My father was an alcoholic, my mother was incredibly self centered. I was placed into foster care and went through a large number of extremely abusive homes. Took solace in books and knowledge. Was terrible at making friends, had an enormous amount of expectation placed on me. Overcame all of that and now live a lackluster life achieving much less than I would like to be, stuck in a rut because I stepped outside certain boundaries that define who I am. There is a lot of detail skipped there... but like someone before me...

To be short it was fucked up. Perhaps I will come back to this. Doubt it though.
