my parents used to say shit like this to me, I ended up running away from home at 16 because they WERE always wrong about shit, were abusive, and used these kinds of phrases to shut down dissent so they could dominate me unreasonably.
If my wife is saying the same things I am going to take a hard look at why she is saying it because we don’t have a toxic relationship and it’s a sign that maybe I am not employing my empathy properly.
It really is going to come down to who is giving you these statements and why.
really depends on who is saying it.
