Thanks you guys. Well, definitely got a multitude of different answers, and I appreciate them all! I appreciate being validated. I also appreciate that some of you told me not to take it so personally, in a very kind way. thank you.

You know...I think there may need to be a balance. I don't want to be the only one to work on myself here and change myself for these people, it feels like too much work, and I like being me. even though, I know I need to work on how I feel.

Akuma said, "In my opinion, we may be more sensitive than other's, but in all honesty, who gives a f--k? We all possess our own boundaries; this fact should be appreciated and respected, because we are all different." I like that. I don't know how possible it is, but I like it.

Maybe I can teach my future inlaws something about who I am. I hope they would respect it if they really care about me. I don't know if they will, his mom is pretty dismissive, but who knows.

And yeah, his mom was joking I'm sure. It caught me off guard because I have been subconsciously thinking lately...that maybe they don't like me...I think they do...I hope they do...

thanks for the replies everyone.
