How can you better understand them?
Do your parents seem super energetic?
The moment they get an idea, it’s “Let’s do it — now!”
Today they say they want to renovate the room, and by tomorrow they’re already moving furniture.
They’re always like: “How would you know if you don’t try?”
More excited than you, more impatient than you.
If you sometimes feel like you can’t keep up — that’s totally normal.
Because your parents might be classic Go-gonuts.
🟡 1. Understand their speed comes from passion, not a lack of care
They’re just so eager to bring their ideas to life that they forget about your pace or feelings.
✅ You can gently say: “I know you want to act fast, but can we talk it through together first?”
🟡 2. When they’re on a high, you don’t have to match it immediately
They might say: “Let’s go now! This is the perfect time!”
✅ Try responding at your own rhythm: “I like this idea too, but I need some time to think or plan.”
✅ Help them slow down — without shutting down their excitement.
🟡 3. Accept that their love language is action
They may not be great at sitting down for a deep heart-to-heart, but they’ll plan activities, find ways to make you smile.
✅ Try saying: “I feel your care through all this. Thank you.”
🟡 4. When they get too pushy or fast, set some healthy boundaries
Go-gonut parents can get over-involved out of excitement.
✅ Calmly say: “I know you want to help me or push me forward, but I want to try it my way / take it at my own pace.”

“Go-gonut parents are the embodiment of passion and action — but they need to feel heard and understood too.”
“Your groundedness can be the balance point in their energy.”
“Learn to dance with their rhythm, not tug against it.”
