there is a perverse logic to it

people who miss out on life experiences often try to overcompensate them or live vicariously, or never find out how to do it naturally. people who have much leisure time in college and 20s come to understand their demons, discover their true character... as opposed to silitron vale or wall st types

guy who never made football team bullies his kid into football

guy who never dated in his 20s makes tonnes of money by working 100 hours a week and in 30s fumbles into bad relationships created from status flexing with no depth, never experienced adolescent loves with womans his own age

woman who grew up poor gorges herself on mcdonalds binge once a month due to repressed trauma of always missing out on mcd as a child

you see this with extravagant childrens birthdays a lot too

I mean, that is made up psychology, not even a real one.

> guy who never made football team bullies his kid into football

That is much less of a think you are making it to be. A guy who values football, was good at it is significantly more likely to force kids into football.

> guy who never dated in his 20s makes tonnes of money by working 100 hours a week and in 30s fumbles into bad relationships created from status flexing with no depth, never experienced adolescent loves with womans his own age

You made up that guy!

> woman who grew up poor gorges herself on mcdonalds binge once a month due to repressed trauma of always missing out on mcd as a child

Not a thing either.

> you see this with extravagant childrens birthdays a lot too

Those are status competition among adults.
