my family does nothing but judge me. what do i ever do to you besides give you respesct infront of your shit talking family. Thats all you guys do.. talk shit about me and always wonder if i’ll ever be good at something. maybe the whole reason why i dont do anything is because im so afraid to ruin everything and show you that i am a complete failure.
you are the main reason i just dont want to be here anymore.

It is hard to live up to the ideals of others whether they be our own families or those of people we love and choose to have around us. It is a trap to get caught up in trying to please others. When you let their words or actions get to that place where we feel pain, then we are letting them control us. This is your life, the one you were given. You have a choice in the whole matter. But it begins right there in your mind. We can choose to let mean words or actions stay in us like a poison pill and sit back and let it eat us alive. Or we can say, your words have no power over me. Forgive those who have said them and move on. If you are living with them then take steps to move out. Life is too short to let others play you like a puppet. But it starts with us, in our minds, what we choose to accept or not. We do have a choice in our lives. Choose to be around people who know what respect and love is. There out there but you won’t find them if you’re not looking because you are too caught up in dysfunction.
In time, as life goes on, your family won’t be as much of an influence or constant presence that they are now. You will have the choice to distance yourself and try to become what you want to be.
Many family figures criticize because they care about you and don’t want you to make the same mistakes that they made.
They also don’t want you to make the mistakes that they know are mistakes because they have seen others make those very mistakes and see what happens to those people.
What you see as criticism can be people just wanting you to put more effort out there because once you become an adult, you will need that “try harder” ability to do well in this difficult world.
In parents eyes, no child is good enough…we’re just here to make them look better…like they’ve accomplished something…
