Families...

[Ms.Squeakers]

Currently im learning in health that you should talk to your family about how you feel...


Am i the only one that just cant do that?

If i tell them how i feel they either

A. Make fun of me
B. Yell at me
C. Im making a big deal about crap
OR
D. Saying im too young for these problems


For instance

I once told my mom that i think i might have depression...but instead she said "Oh no honey you dont have depression" how would she bloody know?

and i once told my mom who i liked and she ended up telling the rest of the family and laughing AT EVERYTHING
if they see me saying hi to him BOOM "hahaha" its so not funny and it hurts my feelings

and whenever i try to sit down to talk to my family about these problems all i get is "No you know what i dont have to listen to these problems start talking rational and then i will listen"

and it just hurts


what should i do?

Am i the only one with these problems?

Nope.
I can't tell anyone anything.
If I'm really annoyed at school and I have to vent. I tell my mom and she tells me that I need to grow up and stop acting like a baby. Even when I didn't do anything wrong.

When I tell her about other things she makes fun of me.

I hate it. She doesn't understand. She tells me she does, but she doesn't. If she did she wouldn't be telling me off, and making fun of me for it. I can't tell her what I want to do as a career, I can't tell her what college I really truly want to go to. I can't tell her what I like to do or anything, because she'll make fun of me for it.

One day I told her I wanted to be an author and she says "You want to write a book!?" like I couldn't do it. It hurt my feelings.
Then I put all these books on my christmas list and she asks "What all you want for christmas is books?!?! Pfft, how boring." Wether she knew it or not she sounded like she was making fun of me for wanting books.

I don't have any advice, because I have the same problem.

So im not the only one...Huh.. interesting..



Yeah isnt it annoying? It makes me emotionally screwed up so i end up crying at school sometimes and people wonder why and when i tell them all they can say is "Oh im sorry" which helps a little but i mean all i have ever wanted was to talk to my family and be able to TRUST them

trust me i dont like crying at school but sometimes i cant help it it just flows out

 

[Quack Attack]

You are not alone in this. I also have trouble telling my issues to my parents. The only person I can really express my feeling to is my best friend.

I added more to my post.

No, and I knew I wasn't the only one. Another one of my friends has the same problem too.

I usually won't cry about it. I just think of ways like writing and stuff to show her what I can really do.

And on things she just tells me off about and makes fun of me I get really ticked off and go to my room shut the door and watch a movie. It usually gets out of my mind and I forget about it, because she doesn't really understand. Yeah, my mom knows me alot, but I know me the best. And I hate it when she thinks she knows exactly what I'm thinking and the problems I have. She doesn't. Doesn't even have a clue.

I just keep it bottled up most of the time now, because I can't vent at school and if I can't do it at home I have nowhere to do it. Except vent to myself and on here. I'm glad that I have friends on here that understand.

 

[disneychick2721]

I dont bother telling people my problems. If you ever watch Scrubs, JD talks to himself and has his little fantasies, thats what I do.

I would never tell my family anything like that. My mom thinks I have a problem because I never call or hang out with my friends, and im always on the computer, but I dont care.

True true

I can NEVER cry
but sometimes i cant help it
i feel my face turn red and i just burst out


and other times i sit by myself and think...



I just need someone a little older to tlak to

I can talk to my friends thats true but...they are slow and dont understand my type of humor
im kinda wise beyond my years
im normally helping them with their problems and then once their done and im a little upset "O too bad" and i have no one to talk to...


AND

Wanting books for christmas is not boring its awesome I dont know how many of those magic tree house books i wanted when i was 7 for chrismtas and easter

My mom doesnt even notice
she just ASUMES that im on VMK because thats all i can talk about thats positive...

 

[marypops!]

Let's just say you guys know more about me then my family do...

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Let's just say you guys know more about me then my family do...

Ditto its almost like the DIS is my family

 

[disneychick2721]

Ditto its almost like the DIS is my family

ITA

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

We are all one big happy family

If one is down we all pitch in

If someones gone theres always someone else to talk to


Yeah we may fight or have little arguments sometimes but were still together

 

[::Snow_White::]

Let's just say you guys know more about me then my family do...

Same.

My mom doesnt even notice

My mom thinks I talk on the phone and hang out with friends too much. 0_o
I only go out like 4 times every couple months and I usually don't talk on the phone.

She thinks I'm on DIS too much also.
But I tell her it's addicting and she believes me.
But I don't think she understands that I have friends on here...she thinks I just...talk. And not be friends with anyone.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Yeah i dont know i guess i should be happy it COULD be worse

 

[AngelInDisguise]

Well if I say something to my mom she says I'm too young somtimes.
But thats it.

 

[BandGeek911]

I can't trust anything with my family.
Especially my mom. She shoots down everything. Everything possible. She won't even think about positive possibilities, and she's extremely closed minded.

And I can't tell my dad anything...well...you'd have to know him why I can't tell any of my feelings to him. I just can not relate to him.

And I can't tell my little brother or sister, they're just too young/stupid to understand anything.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Yeah, I have trouble telling most people my feelings.
When I have a problem though,I try to go to my mom and talk with her. She usually listens and never judges or anything but it's still hard for me to go up to her and be like "Hey I'm sad". Because if I told her the reasons she probably would just tell me to try not to worry or something that just wouldnt help.

When my brother overhears my problems, I never hear the end of it. He one time heard how much I weighed from when I told my mom,and now he constantly call's me fat.

Blahh. This is why I am going to start keeping a journal of my feelings and why I feel that way..Maybe that will be an easier way for my mom to know my problems,without it being embarassing to me.

 

[BandGeek911]

I've always wanted to keep a journal. But I'm so afraid of someone picking it up and reading it. I'd hate that.

 

[pigletgirl]

I tell my family everything.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I've always wanted to keep a journal. But I'm so afraid of someone picking it up and reading it. I'd hate that.

Ohhh..Nobody come's in my room,so i dont think anyone will read it..but i'll hide it just incase my brother sees it.
