Like what the title says, I hate how every little thing I do is sneered at by my parents, and then I get ridiculed for being "shy", "stupid", or "scared". It's been for as long as I can remember! Up to this point, I've had little faith in myself and don't have the high self-esteem or confidence like other people my age. Like I like them, but my parents don't have the slightest clue that their words are clearly devastating me (and I even lashed out several times) whether it's out of frustration or not, but their heads are like cinder blocks, they've said to me many times, "But you're a grown up person, young adults shouldn't be sad by the slightest." I hate that my parents are so damn stubborn...
