3 Things That Show What It Is Like To Have Daddy Issues

In This Article:

Daddy's little girl means a lot to many girls in today's world. Some do not get that luxury like most and look for it in other things, like reliving childhood as a teen or even adult and/or finding their father figure within different types of relationships. Sometimes in relationships, calling someone "Daddy" is not in a joking manner. It is not incestual either. It is a mental comfort for many. (This is all from personal experiences.)

1. You see your significant other as a parenteral figure.

They are always there for you. They are there to comfort you or give you a nice hug or even prepare you for a hard task. People with these types of issues cling to these types of people because they never had that as a child from one parent or another. It is hard to understand the psychology behind it but one thing I do know is that a person's childhood impacts a lot of the person's actions of later in life. This is one of those moments.

2. You look up to the one adult figure who helped you.

That one adult figure could be anyone you are really close to. It could be your art teacher that makes sure you are on task or the assistant principal or maybe a family member you became very close with. Sometimes they are registered to feel the void of the missing part.

3. You have age regressions.

Sometimes, people have certain things that have them resort to their childhood. This could be a certain phrase, blanket, stuffed animal, or place. They forget about the world and get to live the childhood that they wanted. It is different with each person (like most things within this topic).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
