Was this a good thing or bad? I’m confused ?
bad thing i guess, it’s her telling me that i shouldn’t be depressed basically
Well, technically you shouldn’t, if you want to be healthy.
She does sound ignorant to what’s going on with you, but maybe you should think about what she said, you might learn something.
It sounds to me like she just doesn’t want to deal with it. I realize this is your mother, but she is still just one person. Don’t let one person lead you to believe that everybody thinks like that.
Echoing what others have said here….
add “my mother thinks that…” in front of points 1-4 …then you will have something closer to the truth. These are just the opinions of one person, who happens to be your mother, who happens to be un-motherly in her indifference, and hypocritical in her actions. ergo, they are hardly representative of the reality of the situation. don’t let them define you.
Human minds are tuned to say this when someone’s not doin ok. If it’s annoying tell her what’s going on. Cuz my mum did the same few days back and when I lost patience I told her why I’m depressed. Idk if she could relate to any of it, atleast she stopped saying the usual “be happy, don be depressed” stuff. If your mah is not a good listener just stay deaf. Can’t blame them you know.
