Did you guys ever pick up any bad social attitudes or social skills from your parents that fucked over your own social life?
For me, my Chinese mom would always tell me snap judgments of people who looked different or whom she heard rumors about or just didn't like, and pretended she was giving me some sort of wisdom. This later led me to either withdraw from people after making assumptions about them without knowing, or talking to a person based on who I assumed they were and not letting them show me who they are.
This was very instrumental to me being unpopular in college, and it was only once I talked to all sorts of people no matter what they looked liked or were wearing or what social circle they came from that I made so many friends with so many amazing people.

That sounds like it shaped a lot of your early interactions. Did you notice it happening in real time or only later when looking back?
