get a boyfriend, fall in love, get a pet,learn a new language,do something out of your normal routine. a little distraction is all you need. btw how old are you?

it must be exhausting feeling this way, and you deserve to be heard without judgment. Even if it feels like no one around you is listening right now. Would you like to tell me what has been weighing on you the most lately?

I am 19.

The amount of pressure my mom has put on me. They want me to act a certain way, and I can't. it's like they expect everyone to be born an extrovert. They compare me to my siblings, and say a lot of hurtful things. My siblings do too, they insult me alot. They hate that I want to be alone all the time, meanwhile I can't stand being around them. Around January this year, my sister stole from me. My phone and atm card. She withdrew all my money, and disappeared for some days. I called her and begged her to return my phone, she told me that i should forget about it, that I would never get my phone back. I was really hurt, it was the way she said it that broke my heart, no empathy at all. Everyone in my family was upset with what she did, but they swept it under the rug. They got angry when I yelled at her for stealing from me, and they even gave her funds to start up a business. I was shocked, but what did I expect anyway? A relative of mine felt bad and bought me a new phone, she got jealous and said I didn't deserve it. This is a girl that I've done everything for, collected beatings for her, defended her so many times, and she hates me. Sometimes I think my family is the reason why I am the way I am. But I still love them.

aww you'll be fine. once you graduate and go for nysc, just don't go back home. make new friends, if you don't make friends easily, just try to be around people more and smile randomly, then get a job or skill that will keep you outside the house more. people will start to respect you when you earn your own money.hat's my advice for you.
