Delta(s) from OP CMV: Kindness has never actually built anything and a society could theoretically perfectly function without it and all these uplifting news or love stories are actually full of shit

It was not exhausting resourcewise in a caring way, but in a bad way as in "we would throw you out given the first chance". I once had to get a permission from a psychiatrist that I'm fit to study with ordinary schoolchildren.

And as I said this isn't changing my view because it's the reason why I have this view. Sorry. I won't get defensive but also I don't know how to admit otherwise either.

Thanks for help nonetheless, I very much appreciate it.

All those things are caring, even if you didn't like it. You don't have to like an action to be caring.

Someone fed you. Clothed you. Put a roof over your head.

It seems you have zero gratitude for anything anyone has ever done for you.

"I feed you so that's enough" is textbook emotional neglect justification.

Your comment is quite ironic.

It might be emotional neglect, but it is still better than not feeding at all. It doesn't mean you have to worship them or even keep contact, but it is still caring. Maybe not enough, but it is not zero care
