They use words to belittle my problems like I have trouble eating new foods and my mom calls me a “such a picky eater” in mean way and I am a very emotional person get episodes where I just start crying or eritated and they call it a tatntram and it makes me feel like a little kid told her how I feel about it but she keeps doing it. I feel like burned I’m a burden to them.
hi there thanks for reaching out to talk. this sounds awful. is there another trusted family member or adult you can speak with that might be more understanding when you’re feeling upset? eating new foods and trying new things can be overwhelming for sure. when you feel overwhelmed and mom isn’t helping try and take space in your room or another area of the house. feel free to reply or chat with us on the app. you can also call us to speak with a support counselor at anytime.
Hey, I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. It sounds like you’re going through a tough time. It’s hard when people don’t understand how we feel, especially when you’re trying to tell them something important, but they don’t listen or make you feel bad about it. Your feelings are real, and it’s okay to feel upset or emotional. It doesn’t mean you’re being childish or a burden. You’re just going through stuff, and it’s important for your parents to know how it affects you.
It might help to try talking to them again when you feel ready, but maybe in a way where you tell them how it makes you feel instead of just what they’re doing. Sometimes, parents don’t understand because they might not know how to help, and it could be that they don’t realize how their words are hurting you. But you are not a burden. Everyone has feelings, and they deserve to be listened to.
If it’s still hard to talk to them, maybe you can find someone else, like a teacher, a friend, or even a counselor, who can help you figure out what to do next. You deserve to be heard and to feel supported. You’re not alone in this.
Hey, I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s super tough when it feels like your parents don’t get you or take your feelings seriously. You’re not a burden at all—everyone has their struggles, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
It really sucks when they use words that make you feel small or belittled, especially about things that are hard for you. Just because they don’t understand your feelings doesn’t mean they’re not valid. You deserve to have your feelings acknowledged and treated with respect.
Have you thought about talking to someone else about it, like a teacher or a school counselor? They might be able to help you find ways to cope or communicate better with your parents. Remember, you’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to reach out for support. You matter, and your feelings matter! 💖
