It’s so fucking irritating! I love some of the same things as my siblings and my dad doesn’t acknowledge that I love it. So we were watching a TV show which I’ve said is my favorite and he doesn’t talk about it with me-only with my siblings. It’s not fair. It’s like I get penalized for not wanting to put my feelings on a plate for everyone to see. And because my sister shares EVERYTHING even when it’s excessive she gets praised. I have so much pent up anger and frustration and hurt that I feel like I’m going to burst!!!!! My anxiety is skyrocketing too and cutting doesn’t help my depression anymore for some reason. Why doesn’t my dad try to connect on anything with me? Help!!!

Have you spoken to him about it? or spoken with your counselor about this? Cutting isn’t yielding the result you’re seeking. See if there is something you CAN do, rather than focusing on what you cannot do. (I mean this in a friendly tone, but the words may sound harsh: I don’t mean them to be).
I know you’re not being harsh :-). That’s the whole problem in the first place though-I can’t share anything about myself with anyone. Even if I share something trivial, I feel guilty about it and I’m worried about judgement. And then it would feel doctored you know? Like, he needed prodding to acknowledge/love me so it’s not real. I don’t have a counselor and I suck at sharing anything with anyone!!! But I feel like I’m going to die from all of this (sorry if this is overly dramatic)
