I think my family hates me...

[Rareboy]

yeah, i know that i worry too much about other people's opinions of me. i didn't always use to be this way though. i was very carefree and energetic when i was young, but once i started having feelings for other guys and started getting bullied and stuff, i restrained a lot of myself in order to not get negative attention.



so right! i've tried communicating everyway i could also. i even tried changing myself in order to fit in with my own family, but i hated how i was. so now i'm trying to find myself again. i am currently going through the whole "silent treatment" thing with my family now in order to find some inner peace... but i don't even think they notice it...

Time to not let everyone else define your happiness or success.

If you want to be silent...then be quiet but polite...otherwise they'll all take it as being sullen and it will only make things worse. Just try to put space between you and everyone else who might be engaging in a negative way with you and focus on positive social interactions and planning for your future.
