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...

I'm sorry you are having to endure all of this.
 I'm 70 years old now!  And I can still hear some of the remarks my father used to make oh so many years ago. (These things have a way of sticking with you.)  I hope that, in some way, you will be able to find a way to rise above this. You don't deserve this kind of treatment.

 and I agree, it's like you can't think of anything positive about yourself for too long without hearing those awful messages in your head, or at least in my case. I'm wanting to move out of our house and get a place of my own (not counting me living on campus) so I can get some peace. That's all I want, but apparently, it's too much to ask for.

I, too, can still hear remarks my Father said to me 47 years ago. Recently, my supervisor "raked me over the coals" for some misunderstandings. Now, I cringe when I see her, my anxiety goes up, and I get a knot in my stomach. Harsh criticism is hard enough for an adult. And for a kid......
...... I wanted the floor to open up so I could fall in and disappear.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
