me as a child seeing other kids be loved and cared for: well I would just get spoiled if this was done for me so it's better this way
me as a kid seeing other kids get brand new stuff: those kids probably earned it somehow, I haven't done enough to earn fancy stuff. It would be wasted on me anyway. I'm not worth it.
me as a kid seeing other kids consoled when crying: *blank, dissociating, can't form thoughts*
me as a kid seeing other kids be attached to their parents and willingly hanging out with them: what is this. that has to be a disorder. poor kid with no independence skills.
me as a kid seeing other kids be taken care of when sick: I guess their parents can tell they're not 'pretending to be sick', too bad nobody can tell in my case
me as an adult: .... hey wait a second
