I Was Never A Child: The Psychology of Growing Up Too Fast

I Was Never A Child: The Psychology of Growing Up Too Fast Were you the child who was always called "mature for your age"? Did you feel like the adult in the room before you even reached middle school? Today, we explore the Psychology of the Child Who Grew Up Too Fast. We dive into the hidden world of Parentification, a psychological phenomenon where roles are reversed and a child becomes the emotional or physical caretaker of their family. We discuss the Hyper-vigilant brain, the loss of the Inner Child, and why "being the good kid" often leads to chronic anxiety and burnout in adulthood. If you carried the weight of the world on your small shoulders, this video essay is a tribute to the childhood you never had.
