No thank you to my father for being so irrationally superstitious - just because a fortune teller and your favorite deity says I can get into MIT (I didn't) doesn't mean you can justify all your unrealistic expectations and hostile behavior towards me based on that. 3/18 - ThreadSky

No thank you to my mother for scolding me for getting an A (instead of A*) in English when I was 16. Yes, you may have an Eng lit degree, but that was decades ago, not to mention that your comments on my English assignments have already been unhelpful for multiple years.

No thank you to both parents for being vehemently against privacy as a human right, for removing door locks, for installing CCTVs in our flat, for forcing all my phone calls to be put on speaker, and for not allowing me to use ear/headphones.

The only thing I commend is your commitment to do the same, but no thank you to the inconvenience caused by that - I'm tired of listening to all your work calls put on speaker and all the music blasted across the flat instead of using headphones and keeping it to yourself.

No thank you to both parents for bombarding me with hyper-social-Darwinist rhetoric since childhood, for teaching me that empathy is for the foolish & weak, for making me a hateful person, and for abusing blue-collar & service industry workers as a demonstration of how the world "should" work.

No thank you to both parents for all the academic pressure since childhood, for making me dependent on SSRIs at the ripe old age of 12, and for all the sleepless nights all in the name of Confucianism, which is ironic since your values of hatred and spite are anything but Confucian.

No thank you to both parents for intervening with my social circle with your academic elitism, for simultaneously warning about non-straight-A students "polluting" me, while also berating my lack of hostility towards straight-A students b/c "you can't be too friendly to competition".
