Parents

1 year ago · 4 · Stress, +1


278

Whatever I do my parents always think I have not done enough. I study for 3 hours straight and Its still not enough for them. The always shout at me for not completing the assignment rather that sitting down and understanding why I couldn't do it. My mom sees 1 missing work and starts shouting at me. I feel so stressed because I want to make them pround but no matter what i do for them I still need to do more. They always compare me with other kids or even my cousins itself and about what they are doing an how they are getting top grades. My mom always forces me to speak up even though Im not comfertable with speaking or asking questions in the middle of class. What can I do to prove them that i am enough and I cant change my whole personalty.

    They want you to excel. It's not hate. They know that when you're out there in the job market or competing for a college spot, you'll do way better if you work hard. Try to see the big picture.

    You will hopefully learn to drive yourself towards excellence, but until then, they are doing it for you.

    yea i know how you feel. It was the same thing with me. I always felt so pressured and i always felt so sad when my parents compared me to other students. They would say stuff like "These people have 100s its not that hard, what are their parents doing that we're not doing." And my parents would also get mad because i would never participate in the class because i was always nervous. I feel like u should talk to them before it gets worse. for me, i was forced to talk when i hit rock bottom and completely broke. Dont let your stress build up because eventually it will all release.

    You can change anything if you start small enough. Start by high fiveing your reflection in the mirror every morning. If that's too easy maybe try giving yourself a hug every now and then or a little pep talk at the start of the week each week. Doing these tiny things over and over again for a long time will allow you to stand outside of their judgement and realize that you do deserve love just for being here on Earth and doing your best. I hope you do realize that. And I wish you good luck in all things.

    He says that I'm cute. But I can't seem to accept that. Because I know I'm not. Why would someone call me cute? I think I'm ugly as hell. Just why?!...

    I found out that my high blood pressure has come down after almost 9 years since it was gone. I was fine by the first 6 years but I think the past 3 years or so...
