Bought a bike for leisure cycling, but was greeted with a long lecture of how cycling in the park and the neighborhood is dangerous from my upright father.
I often feel that the things I buy are always the subject of disapproval, especially from my dad, who hates all kinds of changes. Ranging from my music lessons, my room revamp, my camera purchase, my travelling habits... He isn't unkind, as he is ever ready to help in any way he can, but the beliefs he conveys are always so discouraging, he makes me doubt myself.
I suspect the many limiting beliefs I have about myself, are extensions of my father's inferiority complex and pessimism. I'm now putting in a lot of work to undo all those innate beliefs. It is not easy.
To make things easier, perhaps I should keep my future decisions to myself. I am afterall responsible for my own life. My parents cannot insist on twisting my arm, even though I respect their opinions.
