Why do I feel like people around me are disappointed in me in what I see in their faces? It seemed like I did not do the best enough to impress them. It seems like they want me out of their life. And for my side, I feel so pressured and just want to be out of this world when I am in that situation. Like I just wanna ask them "what did I do for you to be like that to me?" and I also wanna ask the world "why are you being like this to me?" It makes me hurt everyday and every night thinking about their disappointed faces in me.

Other peoples disappointment sucks, I’m sorry you’re feeling pressured. A little pressure to achieve things is good and healthy, but too much pressure can cause stress and burnout and feelings of not being good enough. The best thing you can do is to analyze if other people are putting this pressure on you, or if you are putting it on yourself.
When I was younger, I put way more pressure on myself than I needed to simply because that’s what I thought was required of me and what my parents wanted. But as I got older and started talking with my parents I saw how I always read too much into their reactions and pressured myself way too much.
It’s possible you’re reading too much into what people are thinking. Unless they have told you that they are disappointed in you, you shouldn’t assume they are. And if you are concerned that they are disappointed in you, then ask and be honest. Most of my life was spent over analyzing peoples thoughts about me when there’s no way I could know that. Sometimes our brains overthink and it causes fake projections.
Feeling that people are disappointed in you can also be a sign of depression, where you feel like they are disappointed in you but in reality they aren’t, it’s just your depression feeding you more depression. Best thing you can do is communicate honestly with these people, and if they truly are unappeasable, then stop trying to please them
