Also, for the sake of maximising engagement - what mistakes did adults in-general make when interacting with you as a kid, that you avoid replicating today?

i find i hilarious(ly sad) that religion is in like every other answer here, seriously…fucking christianity/catholicism man, especially the chucklefuck protestant kind that seems so prevalent in america. i hope to live to see these cults finally die entirely.
Yeah, it’s a pretty common factor. The weird thing is my church wasn’t particularly anti-gay, and none of my family cared, but Catholicism is inherently anti-gay for the same reason it’s inherently anti-birth control: sex is only for procreation in the eyes of the church. Because of that I didn’t actually come out to anyone in my family until I was in my 20s, and about to leave the state.
While there are a lot of problems with Christianity*, the bigger issues run deeper than the faith. People cherrypick the shit out of Christianity so they can live their lives, especially Catholicism**. People use their faith to justify their shitty opinions, while ignoring the faith when it goes against their lifestyle/other opinions, see: people calling empathy a sin despite that being Jesus’ whole thing.
There’s definitely a world where Christianity* can coexist with everyone else. It’s just getting there is the problem, and if we want to get there, then Christians* need to actually pull their heads out of their asses, and listen to the people around them. Also to face actual consequences for their shit-ass opinions, since having their kids cut them off apparently isn’t enough
** The Old Testament is full of stuff no one cares about, see Leviticus 19:19, or Deuteronomy 23:2
