I can fully relate to about half of these symptoms. However, I was in NO way emotionally deprived early in life by my parents. I had a very good start in life.

LATER in childhood and teenage years I got bullied and teased a lot, I was in an accident where I thought my parents and I were going to die, became clingy and socially anxious, experienced recurrent situational emotional invalidation, and had a lot of friction with my parents due to temperament differences. Is THAT enough to account for the symptoms I have? I am aware of them and can overcome them, but experience limited ability to do so under stress. I blame depressed moods squarely on this, as meds haven't been of much help.
