The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Your mom needs therapy. I'm certain of this because my mom needed the same therapy. It's insecurity in attachment and feeling like she's not succeeded as a parent. My mom wasn't nearly as bad though, she just had a rough life in the whole being loved department
Homie I have been seeing you make posts like this for months and I gotta say its not normal and I am sorry. I dont ask my kids that shit. I tell them that I love them and pelt them with kisses whether they like it or not because I won't be alive forever and I want them to know. Kids dont get the gravity of that and they shouldn't have to.
I mean sorry if I keep making these weird posts... but like its better than keeping thoughts in my head... bottling up everything only makes it worse...
The thing with internet is that you can vent any time you want... seeking professional help takes time, like they're not on call 24/7 to listen to you...
Sometimes I wish they created an actual AI (like an actual Artificial General Intelligence, not those LLM shit) for you to talk to.
Sometimes I wish I could visit an alternate timeline where that version of my self "figured it out"... so maybe I could ask him for advice...
Ask away. Talking about this stuff is usually a good thing. If anyone doesn't like it, they can go elsewhere.
Keep posting. I just want you to know that what you are being put through is not normal. You're not supposed to hang your insecurities on your child. Nobody has it "figured out", some people are just in a good place for them and some not and that can change in an instant.

I'm not done with it but...
(And if you know how to write me a bot that would be the biggest help. Keeping up with the weekly skill post was one of the things that made me give up. If I could automate those I think I could handle interactions with people on them.
Quick question for you...what is it you need to "figure out?"
No thatβs not normal. Sounds like theyβre incredibly insecure and emotionally manipulative.
"Is this weird?" is relative, and usually less important than "is this unhealthy?"
I don't know what's normal in China, but it sounds like your mom has some kind of problem and the result has not been great for you.
I'm not intimately familiar with the culture but as an American, it would be something that would make me uncomfortable.
I would talk with a therapist or counselor for perspective.
Sounds like Mom has a mental health issue. Could be an attachment disorder or borderline personality disorder.
It sounds like things parents would ask their kids in a K-drama?

π Am I in a TV Drama?

Is this a Truman Show?
Are my parents actors?
"normal" for what culture?
I mean family culture, not national-culture.
It seems to me that they're insecure, & committed to using you for their-own validation, & crowbarring you into remaining subjugated to that scam/game/manipulation.
( I had to go no-contact with both parents, for years at a time, for my survival: parental machiavellianism doesn't have to be conscious machiavellianism. I don't blame them, but did need to protect my life against their forcing-me-towards-breaking/failing, with all the personal-power I could muster. )
The oversimplification of "the 5 love languages", the oversimplification being that people are somehow "exclusively 1 XOR another", instead of being some mixture on a 5-dimension set-of-continuums/spectrums..
It seems your mother's means of showing-love is verbal, & she felt need to have verbal-expression-of-love for her.
The "5 love languages" thing.. when I found-out that some people NEED exchanging-of-things to feel loved, or to express love .. WTF??
TOTALLY not the way I'm wired.
Never EVER would have dawned-on-me that some people actually were wired that way.
But.. I've seen some people I knew who were wired that way!
Diversity-of-wiring's a thing, right?
So, I think it was you mom being wired for verbal emotional-meaning, AND her trying to manipulate you into being what protected/fed her established-when-she-was-growing-up dysfunction-habit, AND I wouldn't put 1 single cent on her being "to blame" for it, if she's never dug into conquering her own unconscious-mind. I think it was probably the result of the growing-up she lived in, just repeating, in variation.
Discard everything I wrote unless something in it is of value for you.
I've only experience & what seems to be understanding: I've no academic-accreditation, but neither did Socrates, my hero, either.
But if it is of value, then may your life be more-powerfully-awakening/autonomizing, owning your future-karma, more.
