Hiding parents - Status complex

Observed some incidents, where people who got a status in society, hesitated introducing their poor parents to their circle?

Couldn’t understand the psyche behind this attitude? Your parents are force behind your status. Their upbringing get you to that status, then why inferiority complex? One should be proud of their parents and present them before anyone without hesitation.

Any views?

Whattttt, how can someone do this???

Whenever we have guest from village,and my friends are visiting too I proudly introduce them with my relatives.

Jo apne parents ka na ho saka wo Kis ka hoga?

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

Well this does happen, and it happens when people care much for their reputation in the society. I do know a lot of people whom have not big family background but they represent themselves as if they are well from generations and the time they have any relative as a guest they do their best to hide them or lie about their relation. I believe they are kind of in spell of the devil and haven nothing to be truly proud about, only showing off happiness from the outside and from inside they are worse than beggars

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

But I thought we always need parents no matter if we are young or grown but we always need them to support us emotionally and we need their duas too,

This thread is making me sad :(

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

well they are kind of overgrown, they no longer need them. they treat relations like things and things like relations.

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

Unfortunately this detachment of relations is being now followed in our societies, where religions and culture put emphasise on importance of relationships especially with parents. We are very near to the time, when oldage homes would be part of our society to dispose of older parents :bummer:

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

its result of low self esteem.................

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

Low self esteem?? Or over confident??

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

I saw a show where people left their old parents in edhi homes,and one old lady said :frowning: ’ aik maa 10 bacho ko paal sakti hai per 10 bache mil ke aik maa ko nahi paal sakte ’ :frowning:

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

No one can be termed confident, if he/she is ashamed of his roots and relations

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

Ok.

What do you think people avoid introducing their parents because they feel uncomfortable of their backgrounds or they don’t want to make people in their circle uncomfortable because old people give lots of advices (naseehaten)?

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

So its a two-way traffic. Parents also disown children :hmmm:

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

mild hua ke nahi:D

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

I believe parents/ grand parents give a lot Of nasihat, but that's the result of what we are today, no?
People hide their parents because of any reason but they forget what goes around comes around.

Re: Hiding parents - Status complex

Yes but this is less than people hide their parents.
