Do I have daddy issues?
Do not bring up that "girls who have daddy issues want to have sex with their fathers" bullsh*t okay because that is honestly so disgusting.
My dad and I have always clashed, mostly because our personalities are exactly the same. When I was younger (4-10), my dad was never home and whenever I asked him to spend time with me, he said he was too busy with work/tired/didn't feel like it. Back then, I was hurt because my mother didn't spend time with me either, and me being an only child, I spent most of my child hood alone. Later, (10-13), my dad started to hit me because I did not bring satisfactory grades and I wasn't good enough in his eyes. Since then, I have start to feel less and less emotion towards him. I don't want to spend time with him, I avoid him, I don't tell him anything, and I speak in a monotone voice to him. It's not because I hate him, but I simply don't really care (as awful as that sounds). He's been trying harder and harder to spend time with me & make up for those years. In response, he calls me an a**hole or a b*tch. That doesn't bother me either.
The reason why I suddenly think I have "daddy issues" is because I realized I've always wanted to be tall. When my dad used to hit me, he would always look down at me (he's 6'2) and never communicated with me at eye-level. I also have some kind of intimacy/affection issues that my boyfriend has noticed. When I was 10-13, my dad tried to make things up to me and hugged me whenever he came home and I honestly felt disgusted. These are little things, but I'm just starting to get curious. What do you think?

Sounds like yes, you've got a bit of an issue.
i'm the same way.
my dad was a real asshole, still is and i have some serious psychological problems because of it (i.e. i suffer from a severe anxiety disorder).
You can get through this though i promise you.
When dealing with your boyfriend, remember, he's not your dad.
I know what it feels like not to trust. You feel like everyones alike and everyones going to hurt you in the end (in this case, boys because of your so called 'daddy issues').
I'm sending you virtual good karma and good luck!
Yes you do have daddy issues but not the sexual kind though.
