Hi popc. Welcome to esmbr.Hi. Never been into Scientology, but I'd met a guy I really liked, who was 2nd gen.
I just want to make sense about the relationship and I found, it was a lot to do with Scientology upbringing.
Thank you for your detailed answer popc, I'm not a psychologist so I wouldn't know what to make of it, but I was interested to hear how a second generation scieno came across to a non scieno. Very interesting.Extremely self-sufficient, goal orientated, successful, hard to attach to anyone but had A LOT of short and shallow friendships all over the world, extremely good work ethics, impulsive, brushing off emotions in a sec, detached in a sec, very secretive, didn't care for the consequences of his words, ... But at the same time, he knew stuff about himself and his personality which was actually very odd that someone would know without any therapy, especially cause he was not in the field of psychology... Very deep and sensitive personality... It just puzzled me... And now it makes a lot of sense as I was reading about consequences on adults. I could just see something was odd. A lot of resentments to his parents too, but his mum acts like the most warm and caring mum on the earth. Mouth ful of prise.
But short... An abandoned child, who has to take care of himself for basic needs... an abandoned kid in an adult body.

A by-product of Scientology. A true-believer Scientologist cannot have a deep friendship with a non-Scientologist, because (1) very different world-views, and (2) he can't really talk about a central part of his life (Scientology)A LOT of short and shallow friendships all over the world,
This may be a sign that he's mentally leaving Scientology, but if he openly does so, then his parents will have to disconnect from him. The situation would leave most people in a weird state.A lot of resentments to his parents too, but his mum acts like the most warm and caring mum on the earth.
That describes many kids of Scientologist parents. Scientology is mentally consuming, leaving little time to be a good parent. It was this internal conflict which led me to leave, once I became a parent of young kids.But short... An abandoned child, who has to take care of himself for basic needs... an abandoned kid in an adult body.
