Abandonment issues, geez he was thrown out of his fathers house at 13 and sat crying on the pay phone cause he wasn't allowed to go home. He was a BABY and abandoned. That probably killed a part of his sensitivity chip. And that show on Reelz said his stepfather locked him in his room for 6 weeks one summer, only allowed him out to eat and shower. His family really fu.... with his head

This is so incredibly sad. Hard to read. Poor Prince. He had been through so much. Rest In Peace.

It sounds like this guy did something that P didn't like when he recorded one of his songs. That is like molesting one of Prince's children...

...in an internet full of ridulous and offensive comparisons, this stands out as a particular doozy! Well done sir for a complete lack of perspective!

Control issues are also quite common in people who live/d with a seizure disorder/epilepsy. Prince had epilepsy as a child. And then add maternal abandonment? My poor Prince. Music was his expression and love.

What maternal abandonment? It was Prince who moved out of his mother's house to go live with André from the story Cymone tells. I mean, yeah...he did have a stepfather from what I understand and they may have had issues, but what adolescent or teen guy doesn't grow up wanting to enforce a slow and painful death on his stepfather if he is 'lucky' enough to be raised by one?

He was 12 years old. 12 year old children don't just 'move out' and have their parents ok to let them bounce from house to house being someone else's responsibilty to feed and clothe and whatever else it takes to raise a 12 year old child. Whether he was kicked out or 'ran away', it doesn't appear that his parents really cared where he was or what he was doing....until he got famous that is.

There's a YouTube video of a guy that worked a low-level position at Paisley Park. He tells this story of how he was about to pass Prince in the hallway, and instead of doing something normal like saying "Hi", Prince eyes darted about and he immediately SPRINTED down the stairs to get away from him. So yeah, I'd say he was socially awkward! LOL

Is that the same guy who described how one day Prince had on the white lace outfit with no underwear?

Because if it is, man, I couldn't unsee that for hours, and I couldn't stop giggling like a maniac.

Like, whoa, son, that's more information than I needed, but thanks so much for sharing!

Yep, same guy! I loved the "no underwear" story. Settled a question I've had for years!!

Known from the autopsy report list of clothing.

"He was 12 years old. 12 year old children don't just 'move out' and have their parents ok to let them bounce from house to house being someone else's responsibilty to feed and clothe and whatever else it takes to raise a 12 year old child.

I would have moved out if I had been locked inside all summer too (in fact for much less than that - I was quite temperamental at that age - but my parents wouldn't let me leave when I tried and backed down on their demands to calm the situation. I am glad they did as I was willful enough to leave but scared of being on my own at that age.) But after he moved out of his mum's his dad then kicked him out too. He then felt kicked out by his sister. He needed a bit of unconditional love from his family.

i feel you. prince seems to have been severely traumatised in early childhood.

Abandonment issues is one thing, but your zodiac should never be an excuse or even a reason to treat people like crap. And if you have abandonment issues, you have to work on that if you expect others to respect you. That's a part of being an adult, celebrity or not.

--- Do you have a background in psychology? Abuse and abandonment from your parents will ruin you due to trust issues. You how to trust from your parents and if it is not there you are going to problem.

I've been in therapy for years and I still have trust issues. They're better than they are before but all it takes is one time and I'm instantly transformed back to that little girl.

That sounds like something I would do. I'm socially awkward as FUCK!

I agree. It is actually very common with people who have been neglected or abused as children to not know how to relate to people very well and have healthy communication with others.

Like when he kicked Kim Kardashian off the stage.

No, that was just necessary.

Same here, you're bullied by others called names by not only kids but your friends father because he doesn't think your as good as his daughter... Growing up in the 60's like Prince did, there were'nt any laws back then to protect you and parents never stood up or got involved I don't think. And if it was the parents forget it.

The man that talked about twhen he was working at PP and Prince was coming down thw hallway and saw him and turned and ran instead of talking. I sort of know the feeling, I rather not talk, I'm just not a good conversationalist and if I can avoid talking to people I do. I don't mind writing though, that's ok cause it's not face to face. I'm not shy online.

It seems that the majority of the awkward encounter stories that I hear regarding Prince involve men---like he didn't know how to relate to them on an interpersonal level, didn't like them, or was mentally-abused by one (I'm sure his father.) Most women say that he seemed very comfortable around them or made them feel very comfortable. The interviews where he is the least guarded involve women-Oprah, Mel B., Robyne Robinson. Hence, how he became such a ladies' man.

His step father was not good to him either I heard. In interviews he seemed to get along great with Ellen also and believe it or not I saw a Rosie O'Donnell interview and were having fun. But the interviews I've seen with most men was a little like pulling teeth. Maybe he didn't feel like he was in competion with women, not having to be a bigger size and worrying about whether the were judging him on his height. Heck most ment could never compete with him, he was always a bigger man, larger than life. Just don't think he got that in his head.

he seemed cool with jay leno and arsenio hall. those are the only 2 men i have ever seen him interview with. but howard bloom's psych assessment of him is very telling and seems dead on. i haven't heard bloom comment on p's death though.

I think he got along with George Lopez and Tavis Smiley pretty well, too!

Honestly, I think there was a bit of... discomfort with his rather ladylike presentation going on with a lot of men that made them really uncomfortable. I mean, wtf do you do with someone like him? He's this tiny, delicate little doll of a man (obviously, he was a pretty strong dude, just looking at his body. But still, he was teenage girl-sized!) who read as ladylike. REALLY ladylike.

He apparently forgot about --
